What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How our wedding hog roast works in Ditton
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and garden weddings at home, with carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Near Ditton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, carving serves a lot of people fast. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Lighting for evening service
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About the food

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Ditton questions
Which station is closest to Ditton?
Datchet station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Francis Assisi?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
