Wedding hog roast in Hungerford Green, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and wedding breakfasts with sides, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Hungerford Green 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a Hungerford Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Why choose a hog roast in Hungerford Green?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
