Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

There’s something special about a country wedding near East Ashling, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
