How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Alscot, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
