Wedding hog roast near Steeple Claydon
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and relaxed, low-key weddings, with new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
For a smaller place like Steeple Claydon, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
