Wedding hog roast in Stoke Row, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and second-day get-togethers, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Stoke Row often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
FAQs for Stoke Row
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?

How far is Stoke Row from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
