What affects the price in Fishbourne
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Fishbourne, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- 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.

Why choose a hog roast in Fishbourne?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. 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.

- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Fishbourne is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

After a ceremony at a church like St. Edmund's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Ryde Esplanade station, about 2.5 miles east, is the nearest station. The sea is within about 3 miles, so seaside venues are close. We’ll plan a sheltered cooking spot.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Fishbourne: your questions answered
