A hog roast near Barton Stacey
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Barton Stacey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Barton Stacey
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Barton Stacey?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
