Slow-roasted pork in Stick Hill
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Stick Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A way in for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Stick Hill
What’s the nearest station to Stick Hill?
Hever station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
