Questions from Southwick
Is Southwick too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Southwick?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
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 will liaise with them.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater in Southwick?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Southwick and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
How our wedding hog roast works in Southwick
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and weddings in a marquee, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads and more.
Near Southwick, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Evening food at a Southwick wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A way in for the roaster
- Permission for outside catering
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
