Wedding hog roast in Tyler Hill, carved to order

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
