A hog roast near Fairseat
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer wedding in Fairseat, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Wedding hog roast near Fairseat
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is evening food after the first dance and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Fairseat frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
