Wedding hog roast in Roughway, carved to order
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. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and post-wedding gatherings.
A wedding in a small place like Roughway often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately

The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Is Roughway close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
