About our wedding hog roast in Charing Hill
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. For late-night wedding food and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
A wedding in a small place like Charing Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Charing Hill
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Charing Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
