Common questions in Coleman's Hatch
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Coleman's Hatch?
The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Coleman's Hatch are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
