Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
About our wedding hog roast in Lower Heyford
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Typical bookings include the day after the wedding and the main wedding meal, serving salads, crackling and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Lower Heyford have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Questions from Lower Heyford
What’s the nearest station to Lower Heyford?
Lower Heyford has its own station: Heyford station.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater in Lower Heyford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lower Heyford and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Lower Heyford at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
