Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Wedding hog roast near Ford
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. For vow renewals and blessings and evening food after the first dance, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Ford, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What affects the price in Ford
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN18 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At a December wedding in Ford, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Ford
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Do we need extra food?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
