About our wedding hog roast in Upper Eddington
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and marquee weddings.
Near Upper Eddington, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Upper Eddington, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
