Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Wedding hog roast in Thame, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Thame suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We’re often asked to cater garden weddings at home and marquee receptions, with crackling, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
A wedding in Thame might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for a hog roast: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for Thame
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Thame close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater in Thame?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Thame, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
