Wedding hog roast in Tickham, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is anniversary vow renewals and weddings in a marquee, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Tickham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
