Slow-roasted pork in Upper Enham
Wedding hog roast in Upper Enham, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and anniversary vow renewals.
Near Upper Enham, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
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. At a December wedding in Upper Enham, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.

- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
