Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Wedding hog roast near Little Chart
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for the main wedding meal and vow renewals and blessings.
Rural weddings around Little Chart have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote
