Wedding hog roast in Farlington, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and evening food after the first dance, with new potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a smaller place like Farlington, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Farlington
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Farlington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
