Wedding hog roast in Beltring, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Beltring. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For barn and farm weddings and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Beltring, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Beltring wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

FAQs for Beltring
Do you come out to small places like Beltring?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Beltring from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you come to Beltring?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Beltring and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Beltring
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Beltring
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
