- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Permission for outside catering
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing

- Planned to your running order

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
