Wedding hog roast for Westergate
Wedding hog roast in Westergate, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it’s home weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Westergate, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Westergate
Can you cater after a service at Westergate Mission Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
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. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
