Wedding hog roast in Newtimber, carved to order
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. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling, and typical bookings are for late-night wedding food and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Newtimber frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Newtimber hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Winter weddings in Newtimber 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 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
