Wedding hog roast in Carlton Hill, 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. On the menu are carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for the main wedding meal and rustic barn receptions.
In Carlton Hill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, carving serves a lot of people fast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A way in for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Carlton Hill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
