Wedding hog roast for Newchurch
What affects the price in Newchurch
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
Wedding hog roast in Newchurch, carved to order
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for small, informal weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Newchurch frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
FAQs for Newchurch
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Newchurch from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Newchurch wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- 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.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
