Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Combe
We’re gathering after a service at St Laurence's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Combe?
Combe station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At a December wedding in Combe, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
