Wedding hog roast in Enham Alamein, carved to order

Common questions in Enham Alamein
Do you come out to small places like Enham Alamein?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Saint George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
