How our wedding hog roast works in Didcot
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and farm weddings.
Couples in Didcot often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Didcot 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’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

FAQs for Didcot
How far is Didcot from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
