Wedding hog roast in Peel Common
Wedding hog roast in Peel Common, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and marquee receptions.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Peel Common, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
