About our wedding hog roast in Ducklington
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for small, informal weddings and late-night wedding food.
Rural weddings around Ducklington have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Ducklington hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Ducklington, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
