About our wedding hog roast in Castle Hill
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Typical bookings include farm weddings and anniversary vow renewals, serving salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Castle Hill, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
