How our wedding hog roast works in Sulham
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are often booked for intimate weddings and farm weddings.
Near Sulham, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat

For event organisers in Sulham
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Sulham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
