Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Common questions in Sidlesham
Which station is closest to Sidlesham?
Chichester station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
How far is Sidlesham from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Sidlesham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
