About our wedding hog roast in Leafield
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s home weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook crackling, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb.
Near Leafield, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Leafield, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
