Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Ash Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Aldershot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
About our wedding hog roast in Ash Green
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Ash Green. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for anniversary vow renewals and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Ash Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
