Wedding hog roast near Rotherfield
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. We are often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and rustic barn receptions, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
There is something special about a country wedding near Rotherfield, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.

Common questions in Rotherfield
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
