How our wedding hog roast works in Greywell
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and vow renewals and blessings, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Greywell have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Greywell, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
