How our wedding hog roast works in West Grinstead
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are frequently booked for second-day get-togethers and blessings and renewals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near West Grinstead, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What else we do in West Grinstead
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Common questions in West Grinstead
Can you cater after a service at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is West Grinstead from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter weddings in West Grinstead are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
