Wedding hog roast in Watchmoor, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We are often asked to cater weddings in a marquee and rustic barn receptions, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In Watchmoor, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Watchmoor, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
