Wedding hog roast in Stockbury
Wedding hog roast in Stockbury, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For the day after the wedding and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Near Stockbury, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Where the roaster can go in Stockbury
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Roast or jacket potatoes

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Stockbury, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
