How our wedding hog roast works in Street End
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. We are frequently asked to cater the main wedding meal and evening receptions, serving crackling, salads and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Street End, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At a December wedding in Street End, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Questions from Street End
Do you come out to small places like Street End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
