Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
How our wedding hog roast works in Crosspost
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and weddings in a marquee.
Rural weddings around Crosspost have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Crosspost
Is Crosspost too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, sunset in Crosspost is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
