Wedding hog roast in Steeple Barton
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

About our wedding hog roast in Steeple Barton
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for farm weddings and marquee weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Steeple Barton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Is Steeple Barton too small for a hog roast?

Is Steeple Barton close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
