Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Do you come out to small places like Waterhall?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?

Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you cover Waterhall?
Yes, Waterhall is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
