Wedding hog roast for Marlpit Hill
About our wedding hog roast in Marlpit Hill
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Marlpit Hill. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For post-wedding gatherings and home weddings, we can cook crackling, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Marlpit Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
