Slow-roasted pork in Long Sutton
Wedding hog roast in Long Sutton, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are often booked for marquee weddings and rustic barn receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Long Sutton frequently 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

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.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Long Sutton, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

Long Sutton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Long Sutton from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
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 far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
