About our wedding hog roast in Queen Street
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and weddings in a marquee.
A wedding in a small place like Queen Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Queen Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
