Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
For event organisers in Baulking
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Baulking
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SN7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, sunset in Baulking is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
