How our wedding hog roast works in Burgh Hill
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Typical bookings include farm weddings and the day after the wedding, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Near Burgh Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Space, access and the venue

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Questions from Burgh Hill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Burgh Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Burgh Hill and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.

- What crockery is supplied
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- How many staff will carve and serve
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Burgh Hill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
