Wedding hog roast in Witherenden Hill, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. We serve new potatoes, salads and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater farm weddings and weddings in a family garden.
A wedding in a small place like Witherenden Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Witherenden Hill hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Common questions in Witherenden Hill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Witherenden Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Where the roaster can go in Witherenden Hill
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Witherenden Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
