A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is small, informal weddings and late-night wedding food, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Chidham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Chidham
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Chidham is about 4 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We bring a hog roast for your wedding to weddings anywhere in Chidham, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.

With the coast within about 6 miles, many venues here have sea views. We will plan a sheltered cooking spot.
For weddings in PO18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Chidham
Which station is closest to Chidham?
The closest is Nutbourne station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Chidham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Chidham, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
