Wedding hog roast near Hythe End
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. We are often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and garden weddings at home, serving crackling, new potatoes and salads.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hythe End, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or TW19 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer wedding in Hythe End, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
