Hog Roast

Welcome to the site!

we're planning on having a hog roast at our wedding too, hopefully with a hot buffet like roast potatoes/veg/salads etc. havent met with the caterer yet to discuss prices but we have been told by the venue that it will be the cheaper option compared to the wedding breakfast which starts from £35 per head!

i think it will go down really well, we love the idea of it being less formal than a sit down meal and more social. planning on a sit down starter first so that everyone gets a seat etc, then gets up for main.

how much did you want to spend? im sure the caterer could do something to suit your budget. our caterer can do a simple hog roast with buns, or with extras such as potatoes and salad, and can also do canapes, starters and desserts, all depending on how much you want to spend.

hope that helps

I know our venue does a hogroast as an alternative to the evening buffet - they charge £14.95 per head if thats any help.

Congratulations and welcome to hitched! there are quite a few ladies on here that are having hog roast, i've never been to a wedding but i think its definately a talking point for the guests and personally would love a hog roast (as long as i got a huge piece of crackling!!)

Not 100% sure how much I want to spend, the caterers I got for a 3 course meal was at £40 a head. I'm having the wedding in a marquee in my parents back garden, so I'm allowed to bring other catering companies in, as mine does not do a hog roast. I've been looking online and for a hog, salads and roll is about £11.80 per a person, much cheaper than I thought it may be!

Now I just need to decided if I should have it as the main meal or not.

We went to a wedding at our local barn (lains barn) and they got caterers who did a hog roast - it was lush and really worked with the style of the venue! I would have thought its very economical with feeding a large number of guests and gets them all involved!!

Anyone here near oxfordshire - should check out Lain Barn - they are having a fair on 21st march run by Guides for Brides apparently

We were gonn ahve a hog roast but the cateriers said it was expensive for them to hire the equipment so we are having a bbq instead with three different types of meat ours works out thirty pound per person thats the three courses x
