About our wedding hog roast in Eastwood
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Eastwood: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and the main wedding meal, with salads, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Near Eastwood, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Why choose a hog roast in Eastwood?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our hog roast in Eastwood
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Eastwood, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

Eastwood: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Eastwood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Eastwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Eastwood and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

For planners, venues and organisers

Space, access and the venue
