Wedding hog roast in Chiddingstone Causeway
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Wedding hog roast in Chiddingstone Causeway, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For post-wedding gatherings and the main wedding meal, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb and more.
A wedding in a small place like Chiddingstone Causeway frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
