A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Wedding hog roast near Slutshole
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We’re frequently asked to cater blessings and renewals and garden weddings at home, with new potatoes, salads and carved roast pork.
Near Slutshole, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, sunset in Slutshole is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Questions from Slutshole
Can you do a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
