Slow-roasted pork in Shutford
Wedding hog roast near Shutford
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and rustic barn receptions, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Shutford frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

A hog roast compared with other options

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Shutford
Do you come out to small places like Shutford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Shutford?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Golden-hour photos in Shutford at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
