Slow-roasted pork in Kenley
Wedding hog roast in Kenley, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We serve spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and garden weddings at home.
In Kenley, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. In Kenley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Kenley questions
What if our house in Kenley has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Dollypers Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

For event organisers in Kenley
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn

Kenley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
