Wedding hog roast in Davington
About our wedding hog roast in Davington
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it is post-wedding gatherings and the main wedding meal, we can cook new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Davington often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What comes off the roaster

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
