Wedding hog roast in South Street
Common questions in South Street
How far is South Street from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cater in South Street?
Yes, South Street is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
About our wedding hog roast in South Street
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater intimate weddings and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like South Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Where the roaster can go in South Street
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

Weddings in South Street: venues, ceremonies and travel
South Street is about 3 miles south-east of Preston, in Kent. South Street and the surrounding area are covered for weddings. South Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
It is worth telling train travellers that South Street has its own station, Selling station. Marrying at Church of St Peter and St Paul? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 7 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.
This part of Kent takes in ME13, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it. From North Lane and South Street or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Crouch (1 mile north-west), Oversland (1 mile east), Neames Forstal (1 mile south-west), Hickmans Green (1 mile north-east) and Winterbourne (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-west), Whitstable (6 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles north-west) and Herne Bay (10 miles north-east).

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
