Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Culham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Culham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
