A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

How far is Broad Tenterden from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
