Wedding hog roast for Monkton
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
About our wedding hog roast in Monkton
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and weddings in a marquee, with new potatoes, crackling and carved roast pork.
Near Monkton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Monkton
Is Monkton close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Monkton?
The closest is Minster station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Monkton
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
