Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Wedding hog roast near Newtown
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Newtown: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and anniversary vow renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Newtown, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At a December wedding in Newtown, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What else we do in Newtown
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
