Wedding hog roast in Rodmersham, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Rodmersham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
