Wedding hog roast in Godmersham, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it is wedding breakfasts and evening food after the first dance, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Godmersham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

What affects the price in Godmersham
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening food at a Godmersham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
