Common questions in Dukes Green
Which station is closest to Dukes Green?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Wedding hog roast in Dukes Green, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are frequently booked for anniversary vow renewals and small, informal weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Dukes Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Dukes Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
