Wedding hog roast for Stone Cross
Wedding hog roast near Stone Cross
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We serve salads, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and evening receptions.
Weddings in a place like Stone Cross frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Lighting for evening service

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in Stone Cross are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
