Wedding hog roast in Moor Street, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. For blessings and renewals and the main wedding meal, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork and more.
Rural weddings around Moor Street 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Lighting for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Moor Street
Could you cook in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Moor Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you come to Moor Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Moor Street and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

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.
