Wedding hog roast near Oving
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it is home weddings and evening food after the first dance, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
There is something special about a country wedding near Oving, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What else we do in Oving
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like

Questions from Oving
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Oving?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our prices page or the cost guide.
