Wedding hog roast near Horne
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We’re frequently asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and farm weddings, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Horne frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Horne, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
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 does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
