Wedding hog roast in Mount Pleasant, slow-roasted on site
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. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for weddings in a family garden and the day after the wedding.
A wedding in a small place like Mount Pleasant often 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. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For a summer wedding in Mount Pleasant, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs

- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Lighting for evening service
