Wedding hog roast for Winnersh
Wedding hog roast near Winnersh
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and post-wedding gatherings, with crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
For a smaller place like Winnersh, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

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.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
