Wedding hog roast for Gay Street

Wedding hog roast in Gay Street, carved to order

We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.

Rural weddings around Gay Street have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

  • A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
  • Lighting for evening service

What happens on the day

Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Gay Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
  3. We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
  5. Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
  • Think about shelter for your guests
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
