Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Fairlight
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.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Which station is closest to Fairlight?

Can you do a hog roast in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.

Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Fairlight, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
