Wedding hog roast in Radfall
About our wedding hog roast in Radfall
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Whether it is relaxed, low-key weddings and the main wedding meal, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Near Radfall, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
