Wedding hog roast in Statenborough
How our wedding hog roast works in Statenborough
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are often booked for marquee receptions and the day after the wedding.
Rural weddings around Statenborough have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. 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
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Statenborough is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Questions from Statenborough
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Statenborough close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
