About our wedding hog roast in Woolmer
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Woolmer. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and farm weddings.
Near Woolmer, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Questions from Woolmer
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at St Matthew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
