How our wedding hog roast works in Sweethaws
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re often asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and home weddings, serving rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Sweethaws frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?

What else we do in Sweethaws
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Sweethaws, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
