Wedding hog roast in Satmar
Wedding hog roast in Satmar, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Satmar suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads, and we’re frequently booked for small, informal weddings and barn and farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Satmar, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Satmar at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
