Wedding hog roast near Elmhurst
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Typical bookings include rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts, with rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
In Elmhurst, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

In Elmhurst, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
