How our wedding hog roast works in Loyterton
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Loyterton: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Whether it is second-day get-togethers and barn and farm weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and carved roast pork for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Loyterton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Loyterton, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is 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’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
