About our wedding hog roast in Aston Upthorpe
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. For wedding breakfasts and anniversary vow renewals, we can cook rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Aston Upthorpe, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
