Wedding hog roast in Theale, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. For wedding breakfasts with sides and evening food after the first dance, we can cook salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
For a smaller place like Theale, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
What affects the price in Theale
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Theale
Could you cook in Calcot Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Theale?
Theale has its own station: Theale station.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Theale is about 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.
