A hog roast near Anna Valley
How our wedding hog roast works in Anna Valley
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for rustic barn receptions and blessings and renewals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Anna Valley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, sunset in Anna Valley is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
