How our wedding hog roast works in Chelsfield
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Popular choices include carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and second-day get-togethers.
London weddings around Chelsfield often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
