How our wedding hog roast works in Bix
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and salads, and we’re frequently booked for second-day get-togethers and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Bix often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Bix hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Questions from Bix
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. At a December wedding in Bix, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
