Wedding hog roast in Farthingloe, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Farthingloe. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and anniversary vow renewals.
Near Farthingloe, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.

What to tell us

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Farthingloe, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, 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 3:50pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Ask for a quote
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Farthingloe
Can you cater after a service at Aycliffe Church Centre?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Whinless Down?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Farthingloe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Farthingloe and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For event organisers in Farthingloe
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
