Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

From the roaster
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Brighton and Hove, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
