Wedding hog roast near Sevenscore
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For relaxed, low-key weddings and evening food after the first dance, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes for your guests.
Rural weddings around Sevenscore have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

At midsummer, sunset in Sevenscore is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Sevenscore: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Sevenscore?
Thanet Parkway station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
