Wedding hog roast for Titsey
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Wedding hog roast near Titsey
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are carved roast pork, salads and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and the day after the wedding.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Titsey, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Questions from Titsey
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Titsey too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
