How our wedding hog roast works in Cramhurst
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are often asked to cater the day after the wedding and the main wedding meal, serving salads, crackling and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Cramhurst frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Cramhurst hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order

For event organisers in Cramhurst
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Cramhurst: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
