Wedding hog roast in Maidenhead, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We’re frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and late-night wedding food, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
For a wedding in Maidenhead, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with grounds keeps things personal. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Maidenhead wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Maidenhead questions
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Maidenhead from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
