Wedding hog roast in Steyning, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for home weddings and small, informal weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near Steyning suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Steyning, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.

- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

FAQs for Steyning
Can you cater after a service at Jarvis Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Steyning?
The closest is Lancing station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you come to Steyning?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Steyning and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
