Wedding hog roast in New Hinksey, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For evening food after the first dance and farm weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
For a smaller place like New Hinksey, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in New Hinksey is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
