About our wedding hog roast in The Warren
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it is garden weddings at home and marquee weddings, we can cook salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb and more.
Weddings in a place like The Warren frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
