North Ascot questions
Can you cater after a service at Chapel of St Mary and St John?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to North Ascot?
Ascot station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Occasions we serve in North Ascot
There are choices for guests who don’t eat pork.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:
- Intimate weddings

- Late-night wedding food
- Anniversary vow renewals
Virginia Water Lake nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos, and the countryside around North Ascot suits an outdoor reception.
What your quote should include
- Whether travel is included
- The full menu and the sides
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At a December wedding in North Ascot, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
