How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Golden-hour photos in Heathfield at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

About our wedding hog roast in Heathfield
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides.
In Heathfield, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Common questions in Heathfield
Is Heathfield close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at St Richards Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where the roaster can go in Heathfield
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
