What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a Roser's Cross wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
