Wedding hog roast near Crawley
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. For relaxed, low-key weddings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads for your guests.
Around Crawley, couples choose venues, gardens and marquees. Whichever you choose, we will agree the cooking spot with the venue. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

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.
What affects the price in Crawley
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Crawley: your questions answered
How far is Crawley from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cover Crawley?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Where the roaster can go in Crawley
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Crawley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
