About our wedding hog roast in Eastchurch
For a relaxed wedding in Eastchurch, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it.

Common questions in Eastchurch
Do you come out to small places like Eastchurch?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
