Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Fontwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A way in for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
