About our wedding hog roast in Lympne
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Lympne. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Typical bookings include evening receptions and intimate weddings, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and crackling.
Rural weddings around Lympne have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Questions from Lympne
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Lympne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
How the day works
