Wedding hog roast for Ford
Wedding hog roast in Ford, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater marquee weddings and rustic barn receptions, with salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Ford, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Questions from Ford
Which station is closest to Ford?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How far is Ford from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.

In Ford, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
