Wedding hog roast in Stanmore, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and rustic barn receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Stanmore frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
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
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

FAQs for Stanmore
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Stanmore?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
