Wedding hog roast for Fant
Wedding hog roast in Fant, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are frequently booked for anniversary vow renewals and second-day get-togethers.
For a smaller place like Fant, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Common questions in Fant
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will guests be full?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you cover Fant?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Fant and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Fant
- Site access
- Time on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
