Wedding hog roast across East Sussex

A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near East Sussex. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Popular choices include new potatoes, crackling and carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for vow renewals and blessings and weddings in a marquee.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.

  1. Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
  2. We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
  5. Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

What’s near Eastbourne

Locally, our bookings take us close to St Andrew, Princes Park and Stafford Junior School and the streets around them. Nearby too are The King's Arms Public House (0.9 miles south-east), WMG Academy for Young Engineers (1.5 miles south-west) and Ratton School (1.1 miles west). Eastbourne’s nearest station is Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west. A little further out are Pevensey Castle (3 miles north-east) and Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1 mile south-east). Green spaces within easy reach include Combe Hill.

Wedding settings across East Sussex

With 240 villages and hamlets as well as Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. Parts of East Sussex are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. 106 of the places we cover in East Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Eastbourne: It’s worth telling train travellers that the nearest station is Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west. Planning photos in Princes Park? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. In Eastbourne, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Why a hog roast works

There are choices for guests who don’t eat pork.

Whatever the occasion in East Sussex, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings frequently include:

  • Late-night wedding food
  • Small, informal weddings
  • Marquee receptions
  • Anniversary vow renewals

Full catering or machine hire?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Is a hog roast right for you?

Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast.

What your quote should include

  • Payment terms and cancellation policy
  • Staffing on the day
  • The full menu and the sides

The menu, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

East Sussex questions

Do you serve the food?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

How much will it be?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

What space does the roaster need?

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.

What comes with the hog roast?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Will there be enough to go round?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?

For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

Can you roast in the rain?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
