How our wedding hog roast works in Winterbourne
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and barn and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Winterbourne 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.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Winterbourne hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Winterbourne, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
