Wedding hog roast for Stalisfield Green
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Stalisfield Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.

About our wedding hog roast in Stalisfield Green
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Stalisfield Green suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it is home weddings and the day after the wedding, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Stalisfield Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Stalisfield Green
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planners, venues and businesses

- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
