Slow-roasted pork in Lindfield
Wedding hog roast in Lindfield, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Lindfield suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for anniversary vow renewals and intimate weddings.
Weddings in a place like Lindfield often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lindfield
Is Lindfield close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Eastern Road Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Lindfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Within reach of Lindfield are historic houses such as Ockenden Manor (2.7 miles west) and Tyes Place (4 miles north-west). Grand venues like these typically set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- A clear list of what’s included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Whether plates or china are included
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Lindfield hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
