Wedding hog roast in Hinksey Hill, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. For farm weddings and intimate weddings, we can cook new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Hinksey Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Raleigh Park can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first. Marrying at Church of St Lawrence? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from Hinksey Hill
Is Hinksey Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening food at a Hinksey Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
