Wedding hog roast in Horspath
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About our wedding hog roast in Horspath
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. For vow renewals and blessings and post-wedding gatherings, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Horspath, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Golden-hour photos in Horspath at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
