Wedding hog roast in New Street
About our wedding hog roast in New Street
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and wedding breakfasts with sides, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Near New Street, weddings are often 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in New Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in New Street
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Peter?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What else we do in New Street
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in New Street
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
