Wedding hog roast near Rye Harbour
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. On the menu are salads, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for intimate weddings and rustic barn receptions.
There is something special about a country wedding near Rye Harbour, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Rye Harbour
Is Rye Harbour close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Rye Harbour?
The closest is Rye station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
