Wedding hog roast in Chuck Hatch, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For garden weddings at home and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Chuck Hatch often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Chuck Hatch. For a summer wedding in Chuck Hatch, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
