How our wedding hog roast works in Rodmersham Green
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Rodmersham Green: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. For small, informal weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
Near Rodmersham Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening food at a Rodmersham Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
