About our wedding hog roast in Street End
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Whether it’s late-night wedding food and weddings in a family garden, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Street End often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef

Street End: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Street End?
Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
