Wedding hog roast in Shottermill, carved to order

Whether it is weddings in a family garden and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads for your guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Shottermill suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, sunset in Shottermill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
