Wedding hog roast near Botley
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include the main wedding meal and anniversary vow renewals, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In Botley, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Botley questions
How far is Botley from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

We also bring hog roasts to weddings in Dean Court (1 mile west), Chawley (1 mile south-west), Cumnor (2 miles south-west), Filchampstead (2 miles west) and Wytham (2 miles north).

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
