Wedding hog roast in West Sussex: what to expect

After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for barn and farm weddings and second-day get-togethers.

On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.

West Sussex offers town venues in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing and countryside settings across 293 villages and hamlets. We will agree where the roaster goes with your venue. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 121 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Crawley: Planning photos in Tilgate Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first. Put the station on your invitation: Crawley station is in Crawley itself. At midsummer, sunset in Crawley is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

For event organisers in West Sussex

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

What we serve, dish by dish

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Request gluten-free rolls if needed

Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.

Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

What a hog roast costs

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

Season and day of the week
How easy it is to reach the spot
Travel to West Sussex
Crockery choices

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we need to know

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

A photo of the cooking area
Rules from the venue or landowner
The address or postcode
An estimate of numbers

The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in West Sussex

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Can you roast in the rain?

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

Where will the roaster go at our wedding?

Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

Will guests be full?

Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

What about guests who do not eat pork?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
