How our wedding hog roast works in Kemsley Street
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for late-night wedding food and rustic barn receptions.
There is something special about a country wedding near Kemsley Street, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.

Kemsley Street: your questions answered
Is Kemsley Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Levan Strice?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
