Wedding hog roast in Gill's Green
Wedding hog roast in Gill's Green, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s rustic barn receptions and marquee receptions, we can cook carved roast pork, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Gill's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Gill's Green
Can you do a hog roast in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Gill's Green?
The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater in Gill's Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
