Wedding hog roast for Falmer
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About our wedding hog roast in Falmer
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For barn and farm weddings and anniversary vow renewals, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Rural weddings around Falmer have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

FAQs for Falmer
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Falmer from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
