About our wedding hog roast in Alfold Bars

Near Alfold Bars, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Alfold Bars
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Alfold Bars wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. 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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
