About our wedding hog roast in Bopeep
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. We’re frequently asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and evening receptions, serving new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Bopeep frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

How it works

Evening food at a Bopeep wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
