How our wedding hog roast works in Woolhampton
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For vow renewals and blessings and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
A wedding in a small place like Woolhampton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
