Wedding hog roast near Maudlin
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for relaxed, low-key weddings and marquee receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Maudlin often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in Maudlin
Is Maudlin close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you come to Maudlin?
Yes, Maudlin is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like

Put the station on your invitation: the nearest station is Chichester station, about 2.1 miles south-west. After a ceremony at a church like The Parish Church of St Peter, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. With the coast within about 6 miles, many venues here have sea views. We’ll think about shelter from sea breezes.
Wherever your wedding is in PO18, we can roast on site for your guests.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
