Sheerness questions
Is Sheerness close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Sheerness?
Sheerness has its own station: Sheerness-On-Sea station.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Sheerness, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
