How our wedding hog roast works in West Preston
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and barn and farm weddings.
Weddings in a place like West Preston often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
