About our wedding hog roast in Stoke
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and we are frequently booked for small, informal weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
Near Stoke, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
