Wedding hog roast in Donnington, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and relaxed, low-key weddings, with rotisserie chicken, salads and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Donnington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef

Donnington questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St George?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Donnington?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do people get?

- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
