Wedding hog roast near Elmer
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include farm weddings and wedding breakfasts, with new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
A farm or garden wedding near Elmer suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
