Slow-roasted pork in Bredhurst
Wedding hog roast in Bredhurst, slow-roasted on site
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. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and marquee weddings, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Bredhurst, weddings are frequently 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Common questions in Bredhurst
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you cover Bredhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Bredhurst and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
