Wedding hog roast for Gardeners Green
About our wedding hog roast in Gardeners Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. We are frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, with halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
Rural weddings around Gardeners Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, sunset in Gardeners Green is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
