How our wedding hog roast works in Pease Pottage
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Popular choices include crackling, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for post-wedding gatherings and barn and farm weddings.
Weddings in a place like Pease Pottage often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
