How our wedding hog roast works in Grimsbury
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and relaxed, low-key weddings, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
In Grimsbury, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Grimsbury
Can you cater after a service at Saint Leonard's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Grimsbury?
Grimsbury has its own station: Banbury station.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Grimsbury wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
