A hog roast near Friday Street
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About our wedding hog roast in Friday Street
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and marquee receptions, with crackling, carved roast pork and salads.
Near Friday Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
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. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Friday Street
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

What affects the price in Friday Street
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
