How our wedding hog roast works in Battramsley

Near Battramsley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
