About our wedding hog roast in Norton Ash
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and relaxed, low-key weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Norton Ash frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
