Wedding hog roast in Wadhurst, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. We are frequently asked to cater the main wedding meal and post-wedding gatherings, serving salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Weddings in a place like Wadhurst often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Questions to ask before you book
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- The space, cover and access they need
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

What else we do in Wadhurst
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a Wadhurst wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
