Slow-roasted pork in Rowhook
About our wedding hog roast in Rowhook
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and weddings in a family garden, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and crackling and more.
Rural weddings around Rowhook have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Rowhook, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
