A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Milcombe
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Milcombe
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Banbury station, about 4.8 miles north-east of the centre.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
