Wedding hog roast in Newingreen, carved to order

Rural weddings around Newingreen have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
