Wedding hog roast in Henfield
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Henfield at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Wedding hog roast in Henfield, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and home weddings.
In Henfield, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Henfield questions
Is Henfield close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
