For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Wedding hog roast in Sands End, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. For garden weddings at home and late-night wedding food, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads.
In Sands End, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

What affects the price in Sands End
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
