Wedding hog roast in Hambrook
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Wedding hog roast in Hambrook, carved to order
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Hambrook: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts with sides and home weddings, with salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Hambrook frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Hambrook, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
