Wedding hog roast in Osney, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and wedding breakfasts with sides, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Weddings in a place like Osney frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening food at a Osney wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Osney questions
Is Osney close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What affects the price in Osney
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
