How our wedding hog roast works in Greenhill
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for wedding breakfasts with sides and vow renewals and blessings.
In Greenhill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
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.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Greenhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
