Wedding hog roast in Snodland, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s vow renewals and blessings and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Snodland suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Travel to Snodland
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Snodland are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Other occasions in Snodland
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Vegan option (Ve)

Common questions in Snodland
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the New Jerusalem: can you cater?

About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Do we need to provide electricity?

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
