There is something special about a country wedding near Middle Stoke, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
For event organisers in Middle Stoke
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Middle Stoke, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
