Wedding hog roast in New Romney, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. We’re frequently asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and evening receptions, serving carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a smaller place like New Romney, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

FAQs for New Romney
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you come to New Romney?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including New Romney and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In New Romney, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
