About our wedding hog roast in Wintershill
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for the main wedding meal and farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Wintershill, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At a December wedding in Wintershill, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- 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.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
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.
Details that help

- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Wintershill
How far is Wintershill from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wintershill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
