Rural weddings around Stratfield Mortimer have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
