Wedding hog roast in Fordingbridge
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
Wedding hog roast in Fordingbridge, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and vow renewals and blessings, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
For a smaller place like Fordingbridge, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Fordingbridge: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Fordingbridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:05pm.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
