We are frequently asked to cater second-day get-togethers and evening food after the first dance, with crackling, salads and carved roast pork.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why choose a hog roast in Lower Green?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in Lower Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
