Wedding hog roast near West Hill
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For the main wedding meal and weddings in a family garden, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
Weddings in a place like West Hill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden.

Common questions in West Hill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to West Hill?
West Hill has its own station: Brighton station.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In West Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
