Slow-roasted pork in Stonor
How our wedding hog roast works in Stonor
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and late-night wedding food, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Stonor, 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

FAQs for Stonor
Is Stonor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Pishill Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
If you are 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.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Stonor, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
