Wedding hog roast in Udimore, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are often asked to cater second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
There is something special about a country wedding near Udimore, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What your quote should include
- Staffing on the day
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Whether VAT is included
- Plates, china and cutlery
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Questions from Udimore
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
