A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How our wedding hog roast works in Cudham
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For barn and farm weddings and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Cudham, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Cudham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Questions from Cudham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Cudham?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
