Wedding hog roast in Dunn Street, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for anniversary vow renewals and late-night wedding food.
There is something special about a country wedding near Dunn Street, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Dunn Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
