Book a hog roast in Yapton
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Wedding hog roast in Yapton, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We serve salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we’re often booked for marquee weddings and weddings in a family garden.
In Yapton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

Why choose a hog roast in Yapton?
