About our wedding hog roast in Four Oaks
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it’s anniversary vow renewals and small, informal weddings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
A wedding in a small place like Four Oaks often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Permission for outside catering
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Rotisserie chicken

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Four Oaks, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
