Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Wedding hog roast near Awbridge
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We serve carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and blessings and relaxed, low-key weddings.

- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
