Wedding hog roast near Salehurst
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are salads, carved roast pork and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Salehurst frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wedding in Salehurst, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Salehurst: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Salehurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
