Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Kent Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Kent Street: your questions answered
Is Kent Street close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
