Slow-roasted pork in Teston
Wedding hog roast in Teston, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For relaxed, low-key weddings and home weddings, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and crackling for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Teston 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Full catering or machine hire?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Winter weddings in Teston are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Questions from Teston
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Teston close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
