A hog roast near Sheet Hill
Wedding hog roast in Sheet Hill, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are carved roast pork, new potatoes and crackling, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and the day after the wedding.
Near Sheet Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Questions from Sheet Hill
We’re gathering after a service at Plaxtol Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do we need extra food?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Why choose a hog roast in Sheet Hill?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Space well clear of tents and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

In Sheet Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
