About our wedding hog roast in Northfleet
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it’s rustic barn receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads.
Couples in Northfleet frequently keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. A hog roast fits that style. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Why choose a hog roast in Northfleet?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Northfleet, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
