Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Black Bourton
Is Black Bourton close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Black Bourton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
