Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Luccombe Village, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give final numbers in good time
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
