Wedding hog roast near Ryeish Green
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and blessings and renewals, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling and more.
A wedding in a small place like Ryeish Green often 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Ryeish Green
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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 roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
