Wedding hog roast for Faringdon
Wedding hog roast near Faringdon
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it is wedding breakfasts with sides and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork for your guests.
For a smaller place like Faringdon, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Faringdon at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Faringdon
Is Faringdon close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cover Faringdon?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
