About our wedding hog roast in Chichester
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and marquee weddings.
A wedding in Chichester might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits a hog roast perfectly: the roaster cooks outside while guests celebrate. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Do you do evening food?

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
