DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How our wedding hog roast works in Broyle Side
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and weddings in a marquee, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Broyle Side, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Broyle Side, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
