Wedding hog roast for Midgham
Midgham questions
Is Midgham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Midgham close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
About our wedding hog roast in Midgham
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food after the first dance and rustic barn receptions.
Near Midgham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Midgham
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
