How our wedding hog roast works in Nonington
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. On the menu are carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee.
Rural weddings around Nonington 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Nonington questions
Which station is closest to Nonington?
Aylesham station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Is Nonington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Nonington?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
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.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Nonington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
