Wedding hog roast in Risinghurst, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and anniversary vow renewals, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling.
In Risinghurst, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A way in for the roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Risinghurst, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
