About our wedding hog roast in Flackley Ash
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it’s blessings and renewals and marquee receptions, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Flackley Ash, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
