Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Buxted, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Also in Buxted
Buxted: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Buxted too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Buxted?
Yes, Buxted is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
