Wedding hog roast for Hart Plain
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Wedding hog roast near Hart Plain
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and second-day get-togethers, with new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads.
In Hart Plain, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Hart Plain, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
