Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
About our wedding hog roast in Northease
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Northease. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are frequently asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and second-day get-togethers, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Northease, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Northease, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Northease
Is Northease too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
