Slow-roasted pork in Fosten Green
About our wedding hog roast in Fosten Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include crackling, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers.
A wedding in a small place like Fosten Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Fosten Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
