Stonegate station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
