How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Lighting for evening service
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Aldersbrook is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Aldersbrook: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Gabriel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if our house in Aldersbrook has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter weddings in Aldersbrook are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
