Wedding hog roast for Lickfold
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Wedding hog roast near Lickfold
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Lickfold suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and rustic barn receptions, serving halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Lickfold, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What affects the price in Lickfold
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Lickfold questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Lickfold close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in Lickfold. Winter weddings in Lickfold 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests
