About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Wedding hog roast near Hazel Street
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and blessings and renewals, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Hazel Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Hazel Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
