Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Spring Vale: your questions answered
Is Spring Vale close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where the roaster can go in Spring Vale
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Permission for outside catering
- A way in for the roaster
Spring Vale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
