Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Worth, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
