How wedding hog roast works in Brighton and Hove

A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
  3. We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
  4. We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
  5. Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Weddings across Brighton and Hove: venues and settings

Brighton and Hove offers town venues in Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill and countryside settings across 6 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. 30 of the places we cover in Brighton and Hove are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Brighton: Couples marrying at local churches such as St Martin's Church frequently hold the reception nearby, with the roast cooking through the ceremony. Within reach of Brighton are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (0.8 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.1 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates often have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that is your venue. Evening food at a Brighton wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill.

What your quote should include

  • What crockery is supplied
  • Any travel or access charges
  • How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
  • How they handle allergens and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Request gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
  • Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
  • Give your coordinator the final menu

For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.

China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them

Things that change the price:

  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • Numbers
  • Crockery choices
  • Distance from us

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

What to tell us

Here’s what we will ask:

  • The address or postcode
  • Any venue rules
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • A picture of the cooking area

Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

About the food

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Brighton and Hove

How much will it be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

Can we offer lamb too?

Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.

What happens in bad weather?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Who serves?

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

What about coeliacs?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

What if our venue has its own caterer?

Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.

Can we just hire the roaster?

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
