Wedding hog roast for Tudeley
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people

How our wedding hog roast works in Tudeley
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We serve spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and vow renewals and blessings.
Rural weddings around Tudeley have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Common questions in Tudeley
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Tudeley close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you come to Tudeley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Tudeley and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Tudeley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
