How wedding hog roast works in Medway
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for home weddings and rustic barn receptions.
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Cost
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Wedding settings across Medway
Medway offers town venues in Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester and countryside settings across 48 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue.
Gillingham: For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west. If you want countryside in your photos, Bishop Saltings is not far, and the countryside around Gillingham suits an outdoor reception. Winter weddings in Gillingham are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What affects the price in Medway
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Medway
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time.
Questions to ask before you book
- A clear list of what’s included
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Allergen information for every dish
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Should I cook it myself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Common questions in Medway
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
