A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us

About our wedding hog roast in Bexon
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and barn and farm weddings.
Near Bexon, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Bexon at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Questions from Bexon
Do you come out to small places like Bexon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
