A hog roast near Lambourn
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Lambourn, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Common questions in Lambourn
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
