The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. For post-wedding gatherings and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like Send Marsh frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
