Wedding hog roast in Beenham Stocks
Wedding hog roast near Beenham Stocks
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and evening food after the first dance, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Beenham Stocks often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
