How our wedding hog roast works in Upper Heyford
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater the main wedding meal and blessings and renewals, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Weddings in a place like Upper Heyford often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
What affects the price in Upper Heyford
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Upper Heyford questions
What’s the nearest station to Upper Heyford?
Heyford station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre.
How far is Upper Heyford from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Upper Heyford, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
