What else we do in Seaford
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening food at a Seaford wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Questions from Seaford
Can you roast near the sea around Seaford?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Seaford Head Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you cover Seaford?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

- Roughly how many people

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
