Slow-roasted pork in Barns Green
Wedding hog roast in Barns Green, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and intimate weddings.
Rural weddings around Barns Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Evening food at a Barns Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

For event organisers in Barns Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Where the roaster can go in Barns Green
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Barns Green questions
Is Barns Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Barns Green?
The closest is Christs Hospital station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
What about guests who don’t 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.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.

Spit-roast lamb
