Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Hall's Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Hall's Green
Could you cook in Bough Beech Reservoir?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
