Wedding hog roast for Lingfield
What affects the price in Lingfield
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Lingfield
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
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.

How our wedding hog roast works in Lingfield
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and rustic barn receptions.
Weddings in a place like Lingfield frequently 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. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. For a summer wedding in Lingfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Centenary Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
