About our wedding hog roast in Hove
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and barn and farm weddings, with halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling.
Couples in Hove often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Hove
Could you cook in St. Ann's Well Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hove?
Hove station, in Hove itself.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need extra food?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Hove?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Hove hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, sunset in Hove is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
