Wedding hog roast for Slinfold
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How our wedding hog roast works in Slinfold
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Slinfold: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and garden weddings at home.
A wedding in a small place like Slinfold often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
