How our wedding hog roast works in Underhill
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and wedding breakfasts with sides.
Couples in Underhill often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Underhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
