How our wedding hog roast works in Toothill
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. We’re frequently asked to cater farm weddings and blessings and renewals, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Toothill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we are on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
