Wedding hog roast for West Barnham
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
About our wedding hog roast in West Barnham
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for relaxed, low-key weddings and blessings and renewals.
Rural weddings around West Barnham have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in West Barnham are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.

- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
