Wedding hog roast in Berwick, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. For farm weddings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Near Berwick, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Berwick weddings: local tips
Berwick is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. We cover Berwick and its neighbours for weddings. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Berwick to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Marrying at Church of St Stephen? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. For outdoor photos, Tolsford Hill is close by, and the countryside around Berwick suits an outdoor reception. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Berwick, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook. The sea is within about 3 miles, so seaside venues are close. We will plan a sheltered cooking spot.
Weddings anywhere in CT21 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. From Stone Street, Folks Wood Way and Honeywood Close or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

- Local pubs include The Royal Oak Public House (within half a mile north-east)
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At a December wedding in Berwick, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

What affects the price in Berwick

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Berwick questions
Is Berwick too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
