Where, oh where, to begin.

We booked The Hogless Roast for our wedding completely blind. A small indie company with outstanding 5-star reviews, trying to change the world by providing delicious plant-based food that truly doesn't cost the earth

Well, if going in blind is anything to go by, then SOMEONE TAKE MY EYES

Just like everything at our wedding, Matt and his crew were beyond perfect. In every way.

Pulled pork burgers that were so close to meat they had my dad - and everyone else - fooled

The most incredible hash browns with a ration of fluffy inside to crispy outside that literally had me crying out for more (I tell you now, from now on, the smaller the hash brown, the better)

A blissfully fresh salad bar with the best vegan coleslaw, pickled red cabbage, and mixed leaves that you ever did see

and Mac 'n' cheese that literally blew everything else out. of. the. park. Honestly, every bite of this meal had me wishing I'd married the food instead, but this creamy richness of was literally the divine holy grail of pasta.

Followed by Hackney Gelaton vegan gelatos which if you aren't aware already, are the best vegan ice creams that exist and I which would willingly trade all my limbs for

Vegan has never tasted so good

But you can tell they're not just there to get the job done, to advertise, or to make a porky profit.

Everyone was so friendly and charming, and an absolute pleasure to talk to. Never thought I'd be bonding with owner Matt about the savagery of online hackers over a box of dirty hash browns, but there we go

If not on your wedding day, then when?

Matt also mentioned that they create almost no food waste which made me love them even more (as if that was even possible)

Guests were saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had and that they couldn't believe it was vegan I'm not one for militant vegan propaganda but I can't say I wasn't chuffed.

TYSM @thehoglessroast you haven't seen the last of us for sure - or the 100 wedding guests who couldn't shut up about you!

Everyone had the best time and couldn't stop talking about the burgers and the very very addictive hash browns. A pleasure to talk to via phone, email and in person. Also v good value for money!!

Ross and the hogless team were amazing from the get go. we wanted a fully vegan wedding that would impress even the pickiest of meat eaters and that's exactly what they did.

they had some leftover at the end which they boxed up for us, and it was as delicious cold as it was fresh.

everything ran so smooth during food service and we can't fault them at all!

We booked the Hogless Roast for the evening food at our wedding and it went down wonderfully! Considering the vast majority of the guests were meat eaters, we were a little worried they may not like it, but everybody was highly complimentary (with one guest actually asking them what meat he was eating as he liked it so much, having not read the sign that it was vegan!) - the staff were friendly, the booking process was easy, and the portions were great. Don’t hesitate to book!

We wanted a street food feel for our Wedding party and we had previously tried Hogless Roast and when we realised they did events, it was a no brainer! We are not vegan but wanted delicious food that everyone could eat. I defy anyone to try this and still miss the meat! DELICIOUS! The set up was perfect and the service was so nice and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Ourselves and our wedding guests were absolutely delighted by our addition of surprise, wholly vegan food. Hogless Roast catered for our wedding reception on 30th September 2023 with utmost professionalism, friendliness and expertise. Nutritious and delicious! Our guests are still talking about it. Thank you to the Hogless Roast for helping to make our niche wedding requirements a dream come true.

OMG! What can I say? We booked the Hogless Roast for our festival-themed pagan-style wedding in September 2023. Some of our guests were raving before the supplier's arrived, either because they had their food before or because they had been dying to try it for a while...we also had some staunch meat-eaters who are the types not to be convinced by vegan food.
It was a resounding success, people loved it and kept telling us they have had real hog roast before that was not as tasty or enjoyable! Everyone was sold. We are so glad we booked them!
They are easy to deal with, flexible, responsive and just truly seasoned and professional. I never had to worry about them on the build-up! The guys who ran the catering on the day were lovely, friendly and totally relaxed, even though it was the hottest day of the year. Complete pros! If you want street food or an ethical hog roast, no one will be disappointed by these guys!

Wow, where to begin. Honestly the star of our entire wedding was The Hogless Roast. A huge hit with EVERYONE; from meat eaters and pescatarians, to the vegans and beyond! The first time we tried it we knew we’d have to have it at our wedding, and we’re so glad we did! The gluten free guests couldn’t be happier with the amount of choice with all the sides we opted for and GF buns. There was a slight confusion with the serving time and the guys took it in there stride to accommodate us after some of the earlier parts of the day (and traffic) caused some delays. Incredibly grateful for their kindness and professionalism throughout the whole planning process and we can honestly say you won’t regret getting these guys for your big day. Matt & Ross are legends.
11/10

Matt and his team were absolutely fantastic from our initial conversation. They were easy super easy to talk to, very transparent in terms of cost and super flexible with arranging service with us as well as our venue. Their food was also excellent, we have hand so many comments from our guests saying that it was the best food they have even been served at a wedding including from a few people who were initially sceptical about the idea of a vegan wedding breakfast. We can't recommended The Hogless Roast highly enough. They were awesome.

We were the first wedding breakfast the Hogless Roast had. They were brilliant and their professionalism and speed was like they'd been doing it for years. We had some members of the wedding party who were sceptical over a fully vegan menu but the amount of people who told us how wonderful the food was and they wished they could go up for seconds was wonderful. They were perfect for our outdoor wedding where we wanted a street food vibe without being too formal.

I would highly recommend if you want something delicious without the formalities of various courses at a formal sit down dinner, the Hogless Roast would be fantastic choice. We highly recommend as they added to making sure our day was as memorable as it was.

We invited Matt & Ross to come to our wedding in Nottingham earlier this year to feed our day and evening guests, as we wanted someone who could cater for all dietary preferences!

The communication with Matt was amazing throughout, even when we were having to change around dates over the pandemic, he did all he could to make sure they could still attend, which was one less stress for us! His experience was invaluable in helping pick the food options and adjusting numbers to make sure we there was no food wasted.

Now for the best part - the wedding day. We opted for the Hogless Roll, mini hash browns, vegan mac ’n’ cheese and homemade ‘slaw. Matt & Ross worked their backsides off for well over 2 hours and provided our guests with the most delicious, fresh Hogless food. Not only that, but they did it with a smile and a relaxed, but professional, manner which let everyone know ‘we got this’.

We would honestly hire them again just for the hash browns, but that’s only the side order! The Hogless Roll really is the main event. We had so many compliments about the food from our guests, from vegans and vegetarians to pescatarians and flexitarians (and even fussy eaters!). It was genuinely one of the first things our guests mention when talking about the wedding day.

In summary, we wouldn’t hesitate to use The Hogless Roast again. They are simply brilliant!

Matt and his team catered our wedding last month and as usual, the food was superb! All of the guests (vegan and non-vegan) tucked in and said it's the best wedding food they'd had! The ice cream from Hackney Gelato was also delicious and helped cool everybody down in the heat!

Due to covid we postponed our wedding on numerous occassions and the hogless roast were nothing but professional and friendly throughout the whole ordeal and were always available to answer any questions.
If you haven't had the absolute joy of trying there food make it your mission too. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed and were asking us 'what the rules are about seconds' even the hard hitting omnis. We honestly couldn't be happier with the food, service and the team!

We had hogless roast cater part of evening food on our wedding. Even the sceptical meat eaters were raving about the food and I know lots of people were going back for seconds. I’m only gutted I didn’t get to enjoy more of it myself!

We booked the Hogless Roast for our wedding a year before, and they were incredibly accommodating in their manner and communication. We changed up the numbers per head a few times, including what sides we wanted - and this was all done with ease. On the day they were all so professional, turning up and setting up without any need for help (I didn’t even realise they’d turned up at first). Our guests absolutely loved the food, and the meat eaters absolutely raves about the taste of the pork! Unfortunately, my husband and I were too preoccupied to eat any of the food, but having been to London to taste before, knew it would be delicious. We are looking forward to going back to have some more soon.
