What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Twelve Oaks, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
