A hog roast near Sevenoaks
About our wedding hog roast in Sevenoaks
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Sevenoaks suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We are often asked to cater blessings and renewals and post-wedding gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling.
For a wedding in Sevenoaks, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with grounds keeps things personal. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A way in for the roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Sevenoaks wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
