About our wedding hog roast in Golden Green
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is farm weddings and anniversary vow renewals, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Golden Green, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Golden Green: your questions answered
Is Golden Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Golden Green Mission Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you come to Golden Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Golden Green and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Where the roaster can go in Golden Green
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
