Wedding hog roast in Skeete
How our wedding hog roast works in Skeete
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are new potatoes, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and rustic barn receptions.
Near Skeete, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Stuffing and apple sauce

What else we do in Skeete
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Skeete is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Skeete
What’s the nearest station to Skeete?
Westenhanger station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you roast near the sea around Skeete?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
