Every couple is different. Some want grand, sweeping celebrations with hundreds of guests. Others dream of something smaller and far more personal. So you might be wondering why so many caterers still try to squeeze every wedding into the same rigid template?
If you’ve started planning a wedding, you’ll know the struggle… Guest limits that don’t quite fit your vision, set menus that won’t budge and the all-too-common headache of trying to cater for veggie, vegan or gluten-free guests without making it feel like an afterthought – or breaking your budget by hiring a secondary caterer. It can quickly turn what should be exciting into something unnecessarily stressful.
That’s exactly why we do things differently at Hog Roast Loweswater.
We’ve never been big fans of rules – at least, not when it comes to celebrating life’s biggest moments. In our eyes, your wedding should feel like yours from start to finish and that includes the food. So instead of asking you to fit into a pre-made package, Hog Roast Loweswater builds everything around your preferences, your guests and your vibe.
It’s an approach that has worked well for us for over 30 years, and now with the rising popularity of micro weddings – those beautifully intimate celebrations with fewer than 50 guests – more and more couples are starting to see the beauty of hiring Hog Roast Loweswater.
Take our latest clients, Amy and Kate, for example. They chose a micro wedding set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Lake District. With sweeping views of Crummock Water and its surrounding high fells and peaks, they tied the knot surrounded by a close-knit group of 35 guests. And to make sure everyone was properly fed, they asked Hog Roast Loweswater to prepare a menu that felt just as special as the setting – without any of the usual catering complications.
Together, we created something that ticked every box. A traditional hog roast with all the trimmings sat alongside fresh salads, crispy fries and a vibrant meat-free option of grilled veggie kebabs with flatbreads and tzatziki dip. Simple? Yes. But more importantly, it was flexible, full of flavour and suited to everyone’s needs.
For Amy and Kate, it was the menu they had been dreaming of – and they were pleasantly surprised that it came without any unnecessary stress. From booking right through to the day of their wedding, Hog Roast Loweswater was on hand to support them with their every need, which made them feel completely at ease.
