How our wedding hog roast works in Langton Green
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Langton Green: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater small, informal weddings and weddings in a marquee.
Weddings in a place like Langton Green frequently 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

What else we do in Langton Green
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Langton Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Langton Green?
Tunbridge Wells station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Langton Green and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
