How our wedding hog roast works in Wolvercote
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We serve salads, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and post-wedding gatherings.
Near Wolvercote, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Wolvercote
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Wolvercote from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
