Wedding hog roast in St George in the East
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Wedding hog roast in St George in the East, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance.
In St George in the East, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening food at a St George in the East wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
