About our wedding hog roast in Radley
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and small, informal weddings.
Near Radley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?

What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Radley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
