How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or PO39 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Wedding hog roast in Totland, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and salads, and we are often booked for post-wedding gatherings and home weddings.
Weddings in a place like Totland frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. 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.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Power for lights in the evening
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Totland are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
