Wedding hog roast in Wyck
Wedding hog roast in Wyck, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Wyck have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
