How our wedding hog roast works in Twyford
For a relaxed wedding in Twyford, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We serve rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for anniversary vow renewals and intimate weddings.
Rural weddings around Twyford have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

What affects the price in Twyford
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Twyford
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Twyford questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
