Slow-roasted pork in Lucas Green
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Lucas Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Getting ready for the day

For event organisers in Lucas Green

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Lucas Green questions
Is Lucas Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
