Wedding hog roast in Pratling Street
Wedding hog roast in Pratling Street, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts with sides and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Pratling Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Where the roaster can go in Pratling Street
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Pratling Street, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
