Wedding hog roast for Temple Fortune
About our wedding hog roast in Temple Fortune
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Temple Fortune suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater small, informal weddings and the main wedding meal.
In Temple Fortune, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Temple Fortune, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

The menu, dish by dish

Questions from Temple Fortune
Can you do a hog roast in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Saint Mary and Archangel Michael Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
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. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
