Wedding hog roast for Hungerford
How our wedding hog roast works in Hungerford
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Whether it is wedding breakfasts with sides and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of salads, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Rural weddings around Hungerford have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At a December wedding in Hungerford, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

FAQs for Hungerford
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Hungerford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater in Hungerford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hungerford and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
