DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Perfect for your wedding in South Moreton
It feels generous and relaxed, which suits informal weddings.
Hosts in South Moreton book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Home weddings

Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St John the Baptist frequently hold the reception nearby, with the roast cooking through the ceremony.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in South Moreton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.

- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
FAQs for South Moreton
What’s the nearest station to South Moreton?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
