Wedding hog roast for Heads Hill
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in Heads Hill at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Wedding hog roast in Heads Hill, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Heads Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
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
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or RG19 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
