Wedding hog roast near Dial Post
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Dial Post: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Dial Post frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
