What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Northbrook, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- 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

Wedding hog roast near Northbrook
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater farm weddings and marquee receptions.
Near Northbrook, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
