Wedding hog roast for Finmere
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How our wedding hog roast works in Finmere
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re often asked to cater marquee receptions and blessings and renewals, serving rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads.
There is something special about a country wedding near Finmere, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
