How our wedding hog roast works in Cuxton
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Cuxton. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts, we can cook new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Cuxton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Where the roaster can go in Cuxton
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Cuxton from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if things run late?

Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
