Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lions Green
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: 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 do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Wedding hog roast near Lions Green
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Lions Green: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and the main wedding meal.
A wedding in a small place like Lions Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Lions Green
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
For event organisers in Lions Green
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At a December wedding in Lions Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
