Yattendon: your questions answered
How far is Yattendon from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Yattendon?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Yattendon hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Yattendon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
