About our wedding hog roast in South Godstone
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and anniversary vow renewals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near South Godstone, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In South Godstone, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
