Questions from Bladon
What’s the nearest station to Bladon?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What’s included?
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.
Wedding hog roast near Bladon
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for small, informal weddings and marquee weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Bladon, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At a December wedding in Bladon, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- 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 set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
What affects the price in Bladon
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
