Wedding hog roast in South Street, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. We serve carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for post-wedding gatherings and marquee receptions.
Rural weddings around South Street have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Questions from South Street
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is South Street close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Where the roaster can go in South Street
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter weddings in South Street are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
