About our wedding hog roast in Onslow Village
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include carved roast pork, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for small, informal weddings and blessings and renewals.
Weddings in a place like Onslow Village frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Onslow Village, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
