Wedding hog roast in South Hinksey, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings.
Near South Hinksey, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in South Hinksey
Which station is closest to South Hinksey?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover South Hinksey?
Yes, South Hinksey is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote

Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
