About our wedding hog roast in Yateley
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Yateley. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and wedding breakfasts.
In a town like Yateley, a ceremony and then a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That suits a hog roast perfectly: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Yateley
Is Yateley close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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. Send us the address.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
