Wedding hog roast for Hinxhill Park
Wedding hog roast in Hinxhill Park, carved to order
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re often booked for marquee receptions and evening receptions.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hinxhill Park, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Hinxhill Park: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Hinxhill Park?
Yes, Hinxhill Park is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
