For event organisers in Firle
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BN8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Firle, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- 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 roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Firle
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Firle?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
