About our wedding hog roast in Kearsney
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts with sides and intimate weddings, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and carved roast pork for your guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Kearsney suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
For event organisers in Kearsney
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Kearsney, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
