Wedding hog roast in Rustington
Wedding hog roast in Rustington, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. For wedding breakfasts with sides and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes and more.
Weddings in a place like Rustington frequently 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

About the food
Roast pork

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
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
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
