There’s something special about a country wedding near Cassington, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or OX29 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Winter weddings in Cassington are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send 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.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Cassington
How far is Cassington from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
