Questions from Eyhorne Street

Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Eyhorne Street?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
About our wedding hog roast in Eyhorne Street
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 intimate weddings and evening food after the first dance, serving halloumi skewers, salads and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Eyhorne Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, sunset in Eyhorne Street is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
