Wedding hog roast in Frilford
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Wedding hog roast near Frilford
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and barn and farm weddings.
Near Frilford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
How soon do you get booked up?
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.

Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Frilford, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
