Wedding hog roast in Great Stonar
About our wedding hog roast in Great Stonar
For a relaxed wedding in Great Stonar, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and post-wedding gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Great Stonar often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
