Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Calcot
Is Calcot close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Calcot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Travel to Calcot
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re 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.
