a friend of mine had a hog roast for a celebration - she paid £5 a head, so perhaps you could go elsewhere for quotes as £650 is ridiculous!

hers was through a butcher in a local village.

good luck!

Hi No tips for food I'm afraid , but I wouldn't tell anyone you're asking quotes from that its for a wedding . They instantly stick an extra zero onto the quote


You venue sounds lovely BTW

Re your mobile bar - some mobile bar companies won't charge a hire fee, they just make money on the drinks they sell..its worth asking.

Food wise - a cold buffet would be cheaper and you can do some of this yourself.

Music will be Ipodded and played through some speaker our friends have who are in a band.....

Why don't you have the band play? Music through an iPod is hardly proper entertainment.

A lot of couples are opting for Ipods for their wedding now. It keeps the cost down and means they can set their own playlists.

Not my idea of a wedding reception, surely there is pauses between all the tracks?

It's not my idea either, but it works for other people.

My hog is £500 I think - or maybe £450, its by a local farmer who also does the markets in my village.

could you ask a friend of a friend(bridesmaids/best man) to do a BBQ?
a friend of a friend whos a chef would be even better!
