Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- An itemised quote

How our wedding hog roast works in Garsington
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Garsington suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for second-day get-togethers and marquee weddings.
Near Garsington, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For a summer wedding in Garsington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
