Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Wedding hog roast in Foley Park, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Foley Park suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We are often asked to cater the day after the wedding and intimate weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads.
Weddings in a place like Foley Park often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
