Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
