Wedding hog roast near Uffington
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. We are often asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and the day after the wedding, serving salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Uffington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Uffington
How far is Uffington from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in Uffington is about 9:25pm, 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.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
