Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Permission for outside catering
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Five Oak Green
Can you do a hog roast in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Five Oak Green close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
