Near Mount Pleasant, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

What’s the nearest station to Mount Pleasant?
Minster station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Mildreds Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
How much room do you 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 will check it with you before booking.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Mount Pleasant is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
