Getting married in Hampton?
Hampton is about 2 miles west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your wedding is in Hampton, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Hampton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Hampton to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like St Andrew's Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. If you want countryside in your photos, West Blean and Thornden Woods is not far. With the coast within about 2 miles, many venues here have sea views. We’ll plan a sheltered cooking spot.
For weddings in CT6, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Riley Avenue, Essex Avenue and Alvis Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover weddings in Swalecliffe (2 miles south-west), West End (2 miles south), Chestfield (2 miles south-west), Tankerton (2 miles west) and Radfall (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (12 miles east), Ramsgate (14 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east), Faversham (10 miles south-west) and Minster (13 miles west).
A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (2.2 miles west) and Tankerton Castle (2.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Schools near Hampton include Herne Bay High School (0.9 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find Hampton Inn (within half a mile north-east)
Wedding hog roast in Hampton, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater farm weddings and weddings in a marquee.
In Hampton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Winter weddings in Hampton are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Hampton questions
How far is Hampton from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
- All the equipment comes with us
