A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Kit's Coty wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
