About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, sunset in Souldern is about 9:30pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Occasions we serve in Souldern
It is relaxed, generous wedding food, which suits informal weddings.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:
- Rustic barn receptions
- Weddings in a marquee
- Evening food after the first dance
- Vow renewals and blessings
Marrying at Church of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether travel is included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- How many staff will carve and serve
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Souldern
Do you come out to small places like Souldern?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Souldern and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
