How our wedding hog roast works in Stocks Green
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it’s marquee receptions and vow renewals and blessings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Stocks Green, weddings are often 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. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Time on site
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.
