World's End questions
Is World's End close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to World's End?
Wivelsfield station, in World's End itself.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

How the day works
On the day, 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. Winter weddings in World's End are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
Perfect for your wedding in World's End
Evening guests love hot food, especially after dancing.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Here are some of the most popular:
- Second-day get-togethers
- Rustic barn receptions
- Marquee weddings
- Evening receptions
Couples marrying at local churches such as St Andrew's Church frequently hold the reception nearby, with the roast cooking through the ceremony.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
