Wedding hog roast for Stonehill Green
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Wedding hog roast in Stonehill Green, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Stonehill Green. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and intimate weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Stonehill Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Power for lights in the evening
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Stonehill 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’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
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
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Stonehill Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
