- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Hyde Heath, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually 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.

Why choose a hog roast in Hyde Heath?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Where the roaster can go in Hyde Heath
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
