A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Wedding hog roast near Ratcliff
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Ratcliff. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Typical bookings include evening receptions and weddings in a marquee, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads.
Couples in Ratcliff often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
