Wedding hog roast in Maresfield
About our wedding hog roast in Maresfield
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re frequently booked for rustic barn receptions and blessings and renewals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Maresfield, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Maresfield
Can you do a hog roast in West Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need extra food?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Do you come to Maresfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Maresfield and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
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.
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.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Maresfield 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.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- 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.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare

- Think about shelter for your guests
