Wedding hog roast in Kippington, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For intimate weddings and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Weddings in a place like Kippington 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Kippington at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
