Wedding hog roast in Albourne Street
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Albourne Street are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Albourne Street: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?

How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
