How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Nyewood, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.

- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
