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: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Furze Platt
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Furze Platt is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
