How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Shalstone

- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Shalstone wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Common questions in Shalstone
How far is Shalstone from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Shalstone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
