Wedding hog roast in Stoughton, carved to order
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. Typical bookings include the day after the wedding and rustic barn receptions, with halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
For a smaller place like Stoughton, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Stoughton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Stoughton questions
How far is Stoughton from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
For event organisers in Stoughton
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
