How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Hyde End, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: 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.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.

- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Hyde End: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hyde End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you cover Hyde End?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hyde End and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Hyde End
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
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: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you
