A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Wedding hog roast near Mount Pleasant
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it’s anniversary vow renewals and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Mount Pleasant frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evening food at a Mount Pleasant wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
