Wedding hog roast in Bogle, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Whether it is blessings and renewals and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
A wedding in a small place like Bogle frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Bogle at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
