Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Questions from Loxhill
Do you come out to small places like Loxhill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Loxhill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
