Wedding hog roast for South Green
Wedding hog roast near South Green
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is marquee receptions and second-day get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
Rural weddings around South Green 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. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What affects the price in South Green
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or ME9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

Questions from South Green
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.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary Magdalene Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In South Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
