Slow-roasted pork in Eythorne
Wedding hog roast near Eythorne
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For evening receptions and the main wedding meal, we can cook crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Eythorne, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing
