About our wedding hog roast in Peene
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and relaxed, low-key weddings, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Peene have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Peene, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Why choose a hog roast in Peene?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
