A hog roast near Midhurst
Wedding hog roast in Midhurst, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and home weddings.
For a smaller place like Midhurst, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Among the historic houses close to Midhurst are Cowdray House (0.6 miles north-east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and gas cooking. Marrying at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. The South Downs National Park is within about a mile of Midhurst, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.

Your wedding could be at a house on Station Road, Edinburgh Square and Pretoria Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Midhurst, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Power for lights in the evening
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
FAQs for Midhurst
We’re gathering after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
