How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For a summer wedding in Charlton-on-Otmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
