A hog roast near Kings Hill
Wedding hog roast near Kings Hill
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s marquee weddings and anniversary vow renewals, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes and more.
Weddings in a place like Kings Hill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evening food at a Kings Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Kings Hill
How far is Kings Hill from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
