Wedding hog roast for Hammill Park
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Wedding hog roast near Hammill Park
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Hammill Park. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for home weddings and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Hammill Park often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Evening food at a Hammill Park wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
