About our wedding hog roast in Clapton
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and home weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Clapton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
