How our wedding hog roast works in Weavering
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads.
A farm or garden wedding near Weavering suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Weavering, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
