How we price a hog roast for your wedding
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Dormans Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
