Wedding hog roast for Watersfield
Wedding hog roast near Watersfield
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and blessings and renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Watersfield often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
