Wedding hog roast in Ascott Earl, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and the day after the wedding, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling.
Rural weddings around Ascott Earl have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Ascott Earl
Which station is closest to Ascott Earl?
Ascott Earl has its own station: Ascott-Under-Wychwood station.
How far is Ascott Earl from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. 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, and the quote reflects that.
Why Ascott Earl hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
