Slow-roasted pork in Uckfield
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About our wedding hog roast in Uckfield
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Uckfield. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and weddings in a family garden, serving carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in Uckfield might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits a hog roast perfectly: we roast outdoors while the reception gets going.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Uckfield is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Uckfield

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Common questions in Uckfield
Which station is closest to Uckfield?
Uckfield station, in Uckfield itself.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is there a non-pork option?

Do you clear up?

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
