Wedding photographers in the area frequently head for Iping and Stedham Commons. Marrying at Church of St Andrew? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. With the South Downs National Park within about 4 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check the cooking spot with the venue.

Didling questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Didling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
Why Didling hosts choose us

Where the roaster can go in Didling
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
