Wedding hog roast near East Lavington

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. 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’re paying for.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
