Wedding hog roast in Coxheath, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. We’re frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and small, informal weddings, serving carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers.
Weddings in a place like Coxheath frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Coxheath questions
Can you do a hog roast in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Coxheath close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.

Other occasions in Coxheath
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Coxheath
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
