A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Biddenden: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Whether it’s relaxed, low-key weddings and the day after the wedding, we can cook new potatoes, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Biddenden, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Permission for outside catering
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter weddings in Biddenden are 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Biddenden questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Biddenden too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater in Biddenden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Biddenden and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For event organisers in Biddenden
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us
- Serving and clearing done for you

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
