A hog roast near Stockbridge
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
About our wedding hog roast in Stockbridge
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We serve salads, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and small, informal weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Stockbridge, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Stockbridge. In Stockbridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Stockbridge: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Stockbridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
