Wedding hog roast in Holton Hill
Wedding hog roast in Holton Hill, 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. Typical bookings include the day after the wedding and the main wedding meal, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Holton Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Holton Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Holton Hill
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Power for lights in the evening
- A way in for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Holton Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
