Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Wedding hog roast near New Town
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include home weddings and small, informal weddings, with crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Near New Town, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Questions from New Town
Do you come out to small places like New Town?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much room do you 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.
Can you cater in New Town?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
