Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Conyer
Which station is closest to Conyer?
Teynham station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Is Conyer close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you cover Conyer?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Conyer, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
