Wedding hog roast in Billingshurst, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater the main wedding meal and rustic barn receptions.
In Billingshurst, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Common questions in Billingshurst
How far is Billingshurst from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
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 will check it with you before booking.
