Wedding hog roast in Fir Toll, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We’re often asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and marquee weddings, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Rural weddings around Fir Toll have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At a December wedding in Fir Toll, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
