A hog roast near Fittleworth
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Fittleworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

What we serve, dish by dish

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
