Wedding hog roast for Minsted
About the food

Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
How our wedding hog roast works in Minsted
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and weddings in a marquee.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Minsted, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At a December wedding in Minsted, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Before you choose a spot

- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

Common questions in Minsted
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Minsted too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
