A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast.

Wedding hog roast in Pamber End, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. For weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, crackling and new potatoes for your guests.
Rural weddings around Pamber End have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
