Book a hog roast in Crockerhill
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Questions from Crockerhill
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten

- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Crockerhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
