Wedding hog roast in Chalgrove, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are frequently asked to cater evening receptions and blessings and renewals, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and carved roast pork.
In Chalgrove, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Marrying at Church of St Mary? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Chalgrove
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening food at a Chalgrove wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
