What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Glynde, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. 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.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
FAQs for Glynde
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
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 generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
