How our wedding hog roast works in Priestwood
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and the day after the wedding.
For a smaller place like Priestwood, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. 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.

Working with your venue
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’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Common questions in Priestwood
What’s the nearest station to Priestwood?
Bracknell station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Priestwood, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
