About our wedding hog roast in Battle
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are often booked for anniversary vow renewals and the main wedding meal.
Weddings in a place like Battle frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, sunset in Battle is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planners, venues and businesses

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- Step-free access for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
Battle: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
