Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Wedding hog roast in Barnehurst, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and second-day get-togethers.
In Barnehurst, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Barnehurst, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
