A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning help
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
