Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Durrant Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Wattle Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Durrant Green hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Durrant Green, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
