Wedding hog roast near Brownbread Street

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
FAQs for Brownbread Street
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
