Wedding hog roast near Linton
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. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for evening receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides.
A wedding in a small place like Linton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
