A hog roast near Dymchurch
Wedding hog roast in Dymchurch, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. For barn and farm weddings and late-night wedding food, we can cook carved roast pork, crackling and new potatoes.
A farm or garden wedding near Dymchurch suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dymchurch
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Dymchurch?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you come to Dymchurch?
Yes, Dymchurch is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What affects the price in Dymchurch
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Dymchurch, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
