Wedding hog roast in Speldhurst
About our wedding hog roast in Speldhurst
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and garden weddings at home.
A wedding in a small place like Speldhurst often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why choose a hog roast in Speldhurst?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Speldhurst
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Speldhurst, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
