Wedding hog roast in Petteridge, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is small, informal weddings and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

Questions from Petteridge
Could you cook in Brenchley Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Petteridge close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Petteridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
