Wedding hog roast in Jericho, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For the day after the wedding and the main wedding meal, we can cook salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Jericho suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Weddings in Jericho: venues, ceremonies and travel
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Jericho and the surrounding area are covered for weddings. We bring hog roasts to 443 places in Oxfordshire.
Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.9 miles east). Grand venues like these typically set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. Planning photos in Oxford University Parks? It is worth checking the park’s rules first.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Jericho
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening food at a Jericho 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. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.

Why choose a hog roast in Jericho?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
