Questions from Wickham Heath
Which station is closest to Wickham Heath?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is Wickham Heath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Where the roaster can go in Wickham Heath
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
