Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Puckaster, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Questions from Puckaster
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
