Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How our wedding hog roast works in Winterbourne
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. For marquee receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Winterbourne, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Winterbourne
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover Winterbourne?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Winterbourne and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people

- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Winterbourne at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
