Wedding hog roast near Pett
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. For barn and farm weddings and late-night wedding food, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Pett, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Pett are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Pett
Is Pett close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary & St Peter: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
