About our wedding hog roast in High Cross
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. For wedding breakfasts and evening food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like High Cross often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Evening food at a High Cross wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in High Cross
Do you come out to small places like High Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
