Wedding hog roast for Wiston
Wedding hog roast in Wiston, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are often asked to cater garden weddings at home and anniversary vow renewals, serving carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Wiston frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Wiston weddings: local tips
Wiston is about 6 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. A hog roast suits weddings around Wiston, whatever the venue. We bring hog roasts to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Wiston to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like All Saints Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. With the South Downs National Park within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check the cooking spot with the venue.
Weddings anywhere in BN44 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. We can cater a wedding on streets such as Hole Street, Water Lane and Spithandle Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Questions from Wiston
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Wiston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you come to Wiston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wiston and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in Wiston is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
