About our wedding hog roast in Gold Street
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it’s post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Gold Street, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Common questions in Gold Street
What’s the nearest station to Gold Street?
Sole Street station, in Gold Street itself.
Do you come out to small places like Gold Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
