Wedding hog roast in Lambourn Woodlands, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and wedding breakfasts.
There is something special about a country wedding near Lambourn Woodlands, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Lambourn Woodlands, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Before you book anyone
- Staffing on the day
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- The full menu and the sides
- Allergen information for every dish
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Lambourn Woodlands
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
