Wedding hog roast in Hungerford, carved to order

Rural weddings around Hungerford 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 bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Hungerford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
