What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
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.
Wedding hog roast in Wexham Street, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and late-night wedding food.
Near Wexham Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Wexham Street, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Questions from Wexham Street
Do you come out to small places like Wexham Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church Centre?
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.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
