Slow-roasted pork in Singleton
How our wedding hog roast works in Singleton
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Typical bookings include evening receptions and garden weddings at home, with carved roast pork, salads and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Singleton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Singleton weddings: local tips
Singleton is about 5 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. We bring a hog roast for your wedding to weddings anywhere in Singleton, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Singleton is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Singleton to Guildford (about 24 miles away).
Couples marrying at local churches such as The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary frequently hold the reception nearby, with the roast cooking through the ceremony. Wedding photographers in the area frequently head for Levin Down. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Singleton, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check the cooking spot with the venue.
For weddings in PO18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Downley Close, The Leys and Charlton Road, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Charlton (1 mile east), West Dean (1 mile west), East Dean (2 miles east), Cocking (3 miles north) and Heyshott (3 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (9 miles south), Chichester (5 miles south), Selsey (12 miles south), Littlehampton (12 miles south-east), Emsworth (9 miles south-west) and Rustington (13 miles south-east).

- Local pubs include The Partridge Inn (within half a mile west)
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Singleton, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- 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.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Singleton
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you cover Singleton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How much room do you 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.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
