How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in West Stoke, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
