About our wedding hog roast in Bolney
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Popular choices include crackling, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater the main wedding meal and garden weddings at home.
Rural weddings around Bolney have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Bolney: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Bolney?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Bolney?
The closest is Wivelsfield station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Lighting for evening service
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
