How our wedding hog roast works in Iffley
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts.
In Iffley, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

The biggest factors are:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Iffley
What’s the nearest station to Iffley?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
How far is Iffley from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Iffley, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
