About our wedding hog roast in Sandwich Bay Estate
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it’s post-wedding gatherings and relaxed, low-key weddings, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Sandwich Bay Estate often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Sandwich Bay Estate, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
