Slow-roasted pork in Farmoor
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer wedding in Farmoor, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send 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.

Wedding hog roast in Farmoor, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides.
Near Farmoor, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
