A hog roast near Cote
How our wedding hog roast works in Cote
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. We are frequently asked to cater farm weddings and weddings in a marquee, serving new potatoes, salads and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Cote, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Cote
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Cote?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you come to Cote?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Cote and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
