About our wedding hog roast in Bampton
For a relaxed wedding in Bampton, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and crackling, and typical bookings are for the main wedding meal and garden weddings at home.
Weddings in a place like Bampton often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Bampton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.

Bampton: your questions answered
How far is Bampton from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
