Slow-roasted pork in Frensham
Wedding hog roast in Frensham, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and post-wedding gatherings.
Rural weddings around Frensham have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
