Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Wedding hog roast in St Leonards, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a marquee, with salads, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
For a smaller place like St Leonards, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions to ask before you book
- Staffing on the day
- Travel and any London charges
- What crockery is supplied
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Common questions in St Leonards
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
