How our wedding hog roast works in Sevenoaks Weald
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We’re often asked to cater small, informal weddings and barn and farm weddings, serving salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Sevenoaks Weald, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Golden-hour photos in Sevenoaks Weald at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
