Wedding hog roast in Pyrford Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Pyrford Green: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We are frequently asked to cater farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings, with salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Near Pyrford Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
