About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Wedding hog roast in Glympton, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and weddings in a family garden.
Rural weddings around Glympton 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Glympton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
