Slow-roasted pork in Farleigh Wallop
How our wedding hog roast works in Farleigh Wallop
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. Whether it is farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and salads for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Farleigh Wallop, 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 tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Where the roaster can go in Farleigh Wallop
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
