Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Heyshott are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
