Slow-roasted pork in Weddington
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

About our wedding hog roast in Weddington
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. For vow renewals and blessings and farm weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
A wedding in a small place like Weddington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A way in for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Weddington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
