Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Wickstreet
Which station is closest to Wickstreet?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Wickstreet, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
