Wedding hog roast for Curteis' Corner
Wedding hog roast in Curteis' Corner, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Curteis' Corner. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are often asked to cater the main wedding meal and home weddings, serving salads, crackling and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Curteis' Corner have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Curteis' Corner, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
