About our wedding hog roast in Holt Pound
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and evening food after the first dance.
Near Holt Pound, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
