About our wedding hog roast in Westgate-on-Sea
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For home weddings and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Westgate-on-Sea frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
