Wedding hog roast in Burwash Weald, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and marquee weddings, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling.
There is something special about a country wedding near Burwash Weald, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

FAQs for Burwash Weald
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.
Is Burwash Weald too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
