Slow-roasted pork in Steventon
Wedding hog roast near Steventon
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We’re often asked to cater late-night wedding food and intimate weddings, with spit-roast lamb, salads and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Steventon often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Steventon are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
