A hog roast near Cowley
Wedding hog roast near Cowley
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Cowley. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For home weddings and intimate weddings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork for your guests.
In Cowley, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu

- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Common questions in Cowley
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Cowley close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding. For a summer wedding in Cowley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- 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 cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
