How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or OX29 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding hog roast in Church Hanborough, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for farm weddings and post-wedding gatherings.
Rural weddings around Church Hanborough have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
