Wedding hog roast in Broad Street
About our wedding hog roast in Broad Street
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Broad Street: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and late-night wedding food.
Rural weddings around Broad Street 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Questions from Broad Street
Which station is closest to Broad Street?
Hollingbourne station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
How far is Broad Street from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Permission for outside catering
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What affects the price in Broad Street
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Broad Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, 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.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
