What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
