The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Winter weddings in Waldron are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Waldron: your questions answered
Could you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
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.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
