Wedding hog roast in Barfrestone, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and post-wedding gatherings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
Rural weddings around Barfrestone have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Barfrestone questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
