Wedding hog roast for Rose Hill
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Wedding hog roast near Rose Hill
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and wedding breakfasts, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Near Rose Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Rose Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
