About our wedding hog roast in Hunton
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Hunton: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. Whether it’s small, informal weddings and marquee receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Hunton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
