Wedding hog roast in Ascott-under-Wychwood, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are often booked for wedding breakfasts with sides and second-day get-togethers.
A wedding in a small place like Ascott-under-Wychwood frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Ascott-under-Wychwood, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
