Wedding hog roast for Plastow Green
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Rural weddings around Plastow Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Plastow Green questions
How far is Plastow Green from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer wedding in Plastow Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
