How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for outside catering
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Westhampnett questions
Do you come out to small places like Westhampnett?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
