Peterborough Hog Roast Catering

Hog roast catering for Peterborough weddings

A meal that brings people together, with enough thought behind it to fit your wedding day.

Decide where it belongs in the day

A hog roast can be discussed as the main wedding meal or evening food. Explain the ceremony, earlier catering and when guests arrive. If evening guests join later, separate those arrivals from people staying through the day.

Choose the menu against that role: the roast and its accompaniments, either three salads or seasonal vegetables, and one potato. Discuss alternatives for the people who need them before confirming the food plan.

Let the programme make room for eating

Put the proposed serving period beside speeches, cake, the first dance and entertainment. Agree a sequence that gives guests a usable opportunity to collect food, then choose who will announce the service.

Your guest estimate and food window need to describe the same part of the wedding. A later-running reception does not automatically extend the booked catering.

Give the venue one layout

Ask about outside-cooking permission, access, the serving position and power. Plan where guests collect and where they eat, including help for anyone who needs assistance.

Keep other suppliers working from that layout. Tables, parked vehicles or a late room change can affect the working space and arrival route.

Take the next decision.

Will the hog roast be your main meal or evening food?

A wedding breakfast, a birthday supper and evening wedding food have different jobs to do. Decide what the hog roast needs to provide before choosing accompaniments or discussing numbers. The useful starting point is what guests will have eaten already, who will be present and when they should eat again.
