Wedding hog roast near Buckskin
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Buckskin suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for evening food after the first dance and weddings in a family garden.
For a smaller place like Buckskin, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Our staff serve and clear

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Working with your venue

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
