How our wedding hog roast works in Eastergate
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater farm weddings and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Eastergate 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us

How it works

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
For event organisers in Eastergate
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Questions from Eastergate
Is Eastergate too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
