About our wedding hog roast in Hardwick
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. For farm weddings and garden weddings at home, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
Near Hardwick, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
