About our wedding hog roast in Ashmore Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We serve carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for garden weddings at home and marquee weddings.
Near Ashmore Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Ashmore Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
