Wedding hog roast for East Anton
Wedding hog roast near East Anton
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we’re often booked for marquee weddings and wedding breakfasts.
Weddings in a place like East Anton often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Lighting for evening service
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For event organisers in East Anton

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a East Anton wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Prices and what affects them

- Travel to East Anton
