Wedding hog roast in Peasmarsh
About our wedding hog roast in Peasmarsh
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Peasmarsh. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening receptions and garden weddings at home.
Near Peasmarsh, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
