A hog roast or other catering?

Why Weston hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In winter, it is dark in Weston by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
