Wedding hog roast near Balls Green
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and garden weddings at home, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Balls Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
