Wedding hog roast in Botley, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and blessings and renewals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Botley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Golden-hour photos in Botley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
