Wedding hog roast in Chiddingfold, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. For vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook carved roast pork, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Chiddingfold have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, 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 normally easier.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Chiddingfold?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
