Planning a wedding hog roast in Edenbridge
Edenbridge is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. We cater weddings across Edenbridge and nearby. Edenbridge is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Edenbridge to London (about 22 miles away).
Guests coming by rail will want to know that Edenbridge has its own station, Edenbridge Town station. Marrying at Church of St Peter and St Paul? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Edenbridge, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.
Here we cover the TN8 postcode area, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and Wellingtonia Way, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Wedding hog roast near Edenbridge
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Edenbridge. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for small, informal weddings and farm weddings.
In Edenbridge, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For a summer wedding in Edenbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Edenbridge
How far is Edenbridge from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Travel to Edenbridge
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
