Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Wedding hog roast near Brookside
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. We’re often asked to cater second-day get-togethers and vow renewals and blessings, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Brookside frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Brookside, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
