Wedding hog roast in Faversham
Common questions in Faversham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in Oare Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Wedding hog roast near Faversham
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. Whether it’s evening receptions and wedding breakfasts, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
A wedding in Faversham might mean a church ceremony followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That is ideal for a hog roast: we roast outdoors while the reception gets going. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
