Wedding hog roast in Trotton
Wedding hog roast in Trotton, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and late-night wedding food.
Near Trotton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

FAQs for Trotton
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Trotton from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
