How our wedding hog roast works in Marsh Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater home weddings and wedding breakfasts.
Rural weddings around Marsh Green have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Marsh Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Marsh Green
What’s the nearest station to Marsh Green?
The closest is Edenbridge Town station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Marsh Green Mission Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you come to Marsh Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Marsh Green and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
Send us the date, the address or TN8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
