Common questions in Meopham
Which station is closest to Meopham?
The closest is Meopham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to Meopham?

Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How our wedding hog roast works in Meopham
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. We’re often asked to cater the main wedding meal and home weddings, serving crackling, new potatoes and salads.
For a smaller place like Meopham, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
For event organisers in Meopham
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
