Slow-roasted pork in Cooper Street
How our wedding hog roast works in Cooper Street
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and we are often booked for the day after the wedding and vow renewals and blessings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Cooper Street, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Where the roaster can go in Cooper Street
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
How it 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. Evening food at a Cooper Street wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
