Book a hog roast in Hitchambury
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event

How our wedding hog roast works in Hitchambury
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For marquee receptions and intimate weddings, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Hitchambury, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Why choose a hog roast in Hitchambury?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. 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.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Hitchambury
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
