Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
How our wedding hog roast works in Froxfield Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and small, informal weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Froxfield Green, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Froxfield Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Froxfield Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Froxfield Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
