Wedding hog roast in Knockholt Pound, 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 wedding breakfasts and blessings and renewals, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
A wedding in a small place like Knockholt Pound frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
