Wedding hog roast in Woodcote, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. For barn and farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a smaller place like Woodcote, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Why choose a hog roast in Woodcote?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
