Wedding hog roast in Aston
Getting married in Aston?
Aston is about 2 miles north-east of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Aston and the surrounding area. Aston is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Aston to Reading (about 8 miles away).
Marrying at Church of St Nicholas? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. Guests coming by rail will want to know that the closest railway station is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 1.7 miles south-west of the centre. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Aston, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.
For weddings in RG9, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Your wedding could be at a house on Remenham Lane and Aston Ferry Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to weddings in Mill End (1 mile north), Remenham Hill (1 mile south), Remenham (1 mile west), Medmenham (1 mile east) and Bockmer End (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Thame (14 miles north), Benson (11 miles north-west), Chinnor (10 miles north), Tilehurst (9 miles south-west), Wallingford (12 miles west) and Little Heath (10 miles south-west).
A little further out are Marlow Community Hospital (4.6 miles east) and Frazer Nash Archives (1.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Aston includes Weycock Hill and Hurley Chalk Pit.
- Local pubs include Flower Pot Hotel (under half a mile north-west)
About our wedding hog roast in Aston
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. We are often asked to cater rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
There is something special about a country wedding near Aston, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Aston
What’s the nearest station to Aston?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you cover Aston?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Aston and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening food at a Aston wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
