Wedding hog roast in Fisher's Pond, carved to order

A hog roast or other catering?

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening food at a Fisher's Pond wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

How to prepare
