Wedding hog roast for Ashford Hill
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Wedding hog roast in Ashford Hill, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Whether it’s vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Ashford Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Ashford Hill questions
How far is Ashford Hill from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Ashford Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A clear quote with everything listed
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
