The process
It’s a relaxed, well-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. Evening food at a Maidenbower wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Maidenbower
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 follow the site rules.
How far is Maidenbower from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you cover Maidenbower?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
