About our wedding hog roast in Crowborough
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. For relaxed, low-key weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes for your guests.
A wedding in Crowborough might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for a hog roast: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Crowborough: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Crowborough close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, sunset in Crowborough is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
