Wedding hog roast for Hollington
About our wedding hog roast in Hollington
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are carved roast pork, crackling and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater second-day get-togethers and the main wedding meal.
Rural weddings around Hollington have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Hollington wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Hollington questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas?
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.
Which station is closest to Hollington?
Kintbury station, about 4.9 miles north-west of the centre.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
