Wedding hog roast in Stone Cross, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for post-wedding gatherings and the main wedding meal.
Rural weddings around Stone Cross have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What affects the price in Stone Cross
Your quote depends on:

- The journey to the venue

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like

When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Stone Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
