Slow-roasted pork in Lunsford
Wedding hog roast in Lunsford, slow-roasted on site
For a relaxed wedding in Lunsford, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and farm weddings, with carved roast pork, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Weddings in a place like Lunsford frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lunsford
Can you do a hog roast in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Why choose a hog roast in Lunsford?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

What else we do in Lunsford
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why choose wedding hog roast in Lunsford?
No kitchen is needed at the venue, which suits marquees, barns and gardens.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Lunsford and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Small, informal weddings
- Wedding breakfasts with sides
- Late-night wedding food
- The day after the wedding
For outdoor photos, Burham Down is close by.
Before booking anyone
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- If the price includes VAT
- The space, cover and access they need
- Allergen information for every dish
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
