Slow-roasted pork in Molash
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How our wedding hog roast works in Molash
For a relaxed wedding in Molash, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and the main wedding meal.
Near Molash, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Molash
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter weddings in Molash are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
