Wedding hog roast in Egerton
Wedding hog roast near Egerton
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. For vow renewals and blessings and intimate weddings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Near Egerton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For event organisers in Egerton
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
