The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Oakshott, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Oakshott questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Oakshott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
