Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Folly Town, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
