Wedding hog roast for Knox Bridge
About our wedding hog roast in Knox Bridge
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. Typical bookings include home weddings and blessings and renewals, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Knox Bridge, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. In Knox Bridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
