How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Wedding hog roast near Godalming
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 evening food after the first dance and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
For a smaller place like Godalming, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
