Wedding hog roast for Larkfield
About our wedding hog roast in Larkfield
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater intimate weddings and blessings and renewals.
Near Larkfield, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Larkfield questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Larkfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cover Larkfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Larkfield and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
