A closer look at the menu

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
About our wedding hog roast in Weston
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Weston: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Whether it’s vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Near Weston, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Weston wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
