How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Travel to Thorpe Green
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
For event organisers in Thorpe Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
