About our wedding hog roast in Park Town
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For blessings and renewals and barn and farm weddings, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Weddings in a place like Park Town often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Park Town, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
