- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Wedding hog roast in Chearsley, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for second-day get-togethers and barn and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Chearsley have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

For event organisers in Chearsley

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Chearsley
Is Chearsley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Chearsley?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Chearsley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
