How our wedding hog roast works in Hundred Acres
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. For marquee weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hundred Acres, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
