Wedding hog roast in Rogate
About our wedding hog roast in Rogate
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food after the first dance and anniversary vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Rogate often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Questions from Rogate
What’s the nearest station to Rogate?
Liss station, about 3.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Rogate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Rogate, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- 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 arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:

UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Permission for outside catering
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
