About our wedding hog roast in North Gorley
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around North Gorley suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving salads, crackling and new potatoes.
There’s something special about a country wedding near North Gorley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in North Gorley are dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
