Wedding hog roast for Isfield
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Isfield
Which station is closest to Isfield?
Uckfield station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Margaret: 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.
Can you cater in Isfield?
Yes, Isfield is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.

- Put a dietary question on the invitation

- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way in for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Isfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
