Wedding hog roast in Cop Street, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we’re frequently booked for marquee weddings and garden weddings at home.
Near Cop Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Common questions in Cop Street
What’s the nearest station to Cop Street?
Sandwich station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. Winter weddings in Cop Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
