Wedding hog roast in Heathfield, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and intimate weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near Heathfield suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Heathfield wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm 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’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast compared with other options
