Slow-roasted pork in Slough
How our wedding hog roast works in Slough
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork for your guests.
A large place like Slough offers hotels, function rooms and gardens. We need an outdoor cooking spot near the reception. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating

Slough: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Slough?
Slough station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
