How our wedding hog roast works in Lewes
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it’s late-night wedding food and second-day get-togethers, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
A wedding in Lewes might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for a hog roast: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Lewes
How far is Lewes from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Lewes?
The closest is Lewes station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Winter weddings in Lewes are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

- 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.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive

For event organisers in Lewes
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Lewes
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
