Wedding hog roast in Hazeley, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. For vow renewals and blessings and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hazeley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Hazeley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
