Wedding hog roast in Hunston
How our wedding hog roast works in Hunston
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include small, informal weddings and weddings in a marquee, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Hunston frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Questions from Hunston
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Hunston?
Chichester station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
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.

Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Hunston, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
