Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Goose Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
