Wedding hog roast for Bicknor
Wedding hog roast in Bicknor, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s garden weddings at home and small, informal weddings, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Bicknor frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Bicknor
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Bicknor, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
