About our wedding hog roast in Frittenden
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We’re often asked to cater late-night wedding food and intimate weddings, with carved roast pork, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Frittenden, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

The process

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
