Wedding hog roast in Broomer's Corner, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and evening food after the first dance, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Broomer's Corner have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why choose wedding hog roast in Broomer's Corner?
It’s relaxed, generous wedding food, which suits informal weddings.

- Allergen information for every dish
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Staffing on the day
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Broomer's Corner, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

FAQs for Broomer's Corner
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Mission Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
