Slow-roasted pork in Highbridge
How our wedding hog roast works in Highbridge
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. We are frequently asked to cater intimate weddings and vow renewals and blessings, with new potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Highbridge, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
