Slow-roasted pork in Easton
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Easton, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Wedding hog roast near Easton
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. For the main wedding meal and anniversary vow renewals, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, salads and new potatoes and more.
A wedding in a small place like Easton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Common questions in Easton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Easton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
