Slow-roasted pork in Filmore Hill
Wedding hog roast in Filmore Hill, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and the day after the wedding, serving crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Filmore Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What affects the price in Filmore Hill
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Filmore Hill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
