How our wedding hog roast works in Benham Hill
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and late-night wedding food.
A farm or garden wedding near Benham Hill suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

- We bring everything to cook and serve

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
