About the food

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Kiln Green, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Kiln Green
Do you come out to small places like Kiln Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
