Wedding hog roast in The City, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like The City often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a The City wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Where the roaster can go in The City
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
