About our wedding hog roast in Witney
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Witney. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are frequently booked for post-wedding gatherings and barn and farm weddings.
In a town like Witney, a ceremony and then a marquee or hall reception is a classic combination. That is ideal for a hog roast: we roast outdoors while the reception gets going. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Working with your venue

Witney: your questions answered
How far is Witney from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Witney Congregational Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do you cover Witney?
Yes, Witney is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Witney wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
