What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening food at a Tackley wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.

Common questions in Tackley
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Tackley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
