Wedding hog roast for Westbrook
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Wedding hog roast in Westbrook, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and evening receptions, we can cook spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads and more.
In Westbrook, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Lighting for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Westbrook wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- 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.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Questions from Westbrook
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. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Westbrook from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do people get?

How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
