Wedding hog roast in Stroude, carved to order

Rural weddings around Stroude 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.

Common questions in Stroude
Is Stroude too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
