About our wedding hog roast in Firgo
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and marquee receptions, we can cook crackling, new potatoes and carved roast pork for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Firgo, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Firgo: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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.

What comes with the hog roast?

How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Firgo are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
For event organisers in Firgo
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
