Wedding hog roast near Kennington
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are often booked for post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home.
Weddings in a place like Kennington frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Kennington, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
