Wedding hog roast for East Worthing

What happens on the day

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In East Worthing, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Let us know about tight access
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Wedding hog roast in East Worthing, carved to order

Barn, marquee and garden weddings around East Worthing suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are frequently asked to cater intimate weddings and second-day get-togethers, serving halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.

For a smaller place like East Worthing, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Looking after everyone

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
  • Put a dietary question on the invitation
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Planning the cooking spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
  • Power for lights in the evening
  • A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

East Worthing questions

How far is East Worthing from London?

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cater after a service at St George's Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Do we need to provide electricity?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?

For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

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 picture if you are unsure.

What’s the price?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

What’s included?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

A hog roast compared with other options

Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
