How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Waterside are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
