Wedding hog roast near Wargrave
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Wargrave suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and farm weddings, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In Wargrave, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Questions from Wargrave
Could you cook in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Wargrave close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Why choose a hog roast in Wargrave?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Wargrave, 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 is 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.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
