Rural weddings around Silver Street 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. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Common questions in Silver Street
Can you do a hog roast in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
