Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Upper Winchendon
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
