Wedding hog roast for Hannington
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer wedding in Hannington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
