Wedding hog roast for Crawley
Wedding hog roast near Crawley
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Crawley. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are carved roast pork, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and home weddings.
Near Crawley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Crawley are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
