How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At a December wedding in Sutton at Hone, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
