Wedding hog roast in Northfleet Green
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.

About our wedding hog roast in Northfleet Green
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and weddings in a family garden, with halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
There is something special about a country wedding near Northfleet Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. At a December wedding in Northfleet Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Northfleet Green
Do you come out to small places like Northfleet Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
