Slow-roasted pork in Maltman's Hill
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Wedding hog roast in Maltman's Hill, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is home weddings and evening food after the first dance, we can cook carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Near Maltman's Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
