Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Wedding hog roast in East Hill, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include evening receptions and post-wedding gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like East Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. 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 whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What affects the price in East Hill
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
