Wedding hog roast in Warninglid, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts with sides and garden weddings at home.
Near Warninglid, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
