Wedding hog roast for Northumberland Heath
About our wedding hog roast in Northumberland Heath
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We’re frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and blessings and renewals, serving carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
For a wedding in Northumberland Heath, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Northumberland Heath, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
