Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal

Wedding hog roast near Great Burgh
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and intimate weddings, with crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a smaller place like Great Burgh, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

What else we do in Great Burgh
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Great Burgh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
