Wedding hog roast for Bodiam
Wedding hog roast near Bodiam
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We serve halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and evening receptions.
Rural weddings around Bodiam 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Questions from Bodiam
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 follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Bodiam?
Robertsbridge station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
What else we do in Bodiam
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening food at a Bodiam wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
