How our wedding hog roast works in Ebbsfleet
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and weddings in a family garden, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Ebbsfleet, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

Questions from Ebbsfleet
Can you do a hog roast in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Ebbsfleet close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you cover Ebbsfleet?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ebbsfleet and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
