Spit-roast lamb

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Baughurst questions
Can you cater after a service at Saint Mary's Church?
