- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Wedding hog roast near Dean Street
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for the main wedding meal and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Dean Street have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Dean Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
