How our wedding hog roast works in Biddenden Green
For a relaxed wedding in Biddenden Green, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts with sides and barn and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Biddenden Green have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Biddenden Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.

The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening food at a Biddenden Green wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
