Wedding hog roast in Allhallows-on-Sea
About our wedding hog roast in Allhallows-on-Sea
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and relaxed, low-key weddings.
Rural weddings around Allhallows-on-Sea have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Permission for outside catering
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

Allhallows-on-Sea questions
How far is Allhallows-on-Sea from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Allhallows-on-Sea, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
