Wedding hog roast for East Langdon
Wedding hog roast near East Langdon
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. We are often asked to cater weddings in a marquee and barn and farm weddings, with crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Rural weddings around East Langdon have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
