How our wedding hog roast works in Kidlington
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and rustic barn receptions, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
For a smaller place like Kidlington, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Kidlington
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Winter weddings in Kidlington are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.

A hog roast compared with other options
