Wedding hog roast near Ludgershall
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. We’re often asked to cater second-day get-togethers and late-night wedding food, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and crackling.
Rural weddings around Ludgershall 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. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. At a December wedding in Ludgershall, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Ludgershall
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Ludgershall too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you come to Ludgershall?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ludgershall and Buckinghamshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
