How our wedding hog roast works in Barnham
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include the main wedding meal and the day after the wedding, serving halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling.
Rural weddings around Barnham have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; 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 setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Barnham: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Barnham?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening food at a Barnham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
