About our wedding hog roast in Arkley
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. Whether it is evening receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork for your guests.
London weddings around Arkley often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
