Wedding hog roast in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Wedding hog roast in Shipton-under-Wychwood, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for late-night wedding food and relaxed, low-key weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Shipton-under-Wychwood frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
What we serve, dish by dish

Shipton-under-Wychwood: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?

How far is Shipton-under-Wychwood from London?

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

A hog roast or other catering?
