Wedding hog roast in Fishbourne, slow-roasted on site

Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Fishbourne suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook salads, carved roast pork and new potatoes and more.

In Fishbourne, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How to compare hog roast caterers

Step by step

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Golden-hour photos in Fishbourne at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
  3. We fit timings around your running order.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
  5. We serve, tidy up and slip away.

How to prepare

  • Think about shelter for your guests
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Send final numbers in good time

Common questions in Fishbourne

Is Fishbourne close to London?

Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What’s the nearest station to Fishbourne?

Fishbourne station, in Fishbourne itself.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

What happens after service?

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

How big a hog will we need?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Can the hog roast be for the evening?

Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.

Do you provide china?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Why Fishbourne hosts choose us

  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

See our prices page or what a hog roast costs.

Should I cook it myself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

  • Lighting for evening service
  • Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
  • A way in for the roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
