Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.

How far is Stanton St John from London?

Can you do a hog roast in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
