Slow-roasted pork in Maybush
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our wedding hog roast in Maybush
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include the day after the wedding and garden weddings at home, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Weddings in a place like Maybush often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Permission for outside catering
- A way in for the roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee

- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
