About our wedding hog roast in Tisman's Common
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Tisman's Common. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. On the menu are crackling, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for anniversary vow renewals and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Tisman's Common often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?

What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
