Wedding hog roast near Brunswick
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. For wedding breakfasts and blessings and renewals, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a smaller place like Brunswick, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Brunswick, 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 9:15pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Where the roaster can go in Brunswick
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
