Wedding hog roast in Crosswater, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for late-night wedding food and small, informal weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Crosswater frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

FAQs for Crosswater
Can you do a hog roast in The Flashes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What happens after service?

Why choose a hog roast in Crosswater?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
