Slow-roasted pork in Seasalter
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Wedding hog roast in Seasalter, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For weddings in a marquee and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Seasalter, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in Seasalter is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Preparing for the day

What affects the price in Seasalter
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- 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 picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
