Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In North Newington, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
