We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
About our wedding hog roast in Brook
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. On the menu are carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater intimate weddings and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Brook often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Brook, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
