Wedding hog roast for Sinkhurst Green
About our wedding hog roast in Sinkhurst Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. Whether it is wedding breakfasts with sides and anniversary vow renewals, we can cook carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
Rural weddings around Sinkhurst Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for outside catering
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
For event organisers in Sinkhurst Green
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening food at a Sinkhurst Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

What affects the price in Sinkhurst Green
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
