About our wedding hog roast in High Brooms
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, carved roast pork and crackling and more.

Where the roaster can go in High Brooms
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches

From the roaster
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb

- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In High Brooms, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Getting ready for the day

Common questions in High Brooms
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Hilbert Woods?
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.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater in High Brooms?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including High Brooms and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
For event organisers in High Brooms
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in High Brooms
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
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 to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
