How our wedding hog roast works in Tunbridge Hill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We are frequently asked to cater home weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, with carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Near Tunbridge Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Common questions in Tunbridge Hill
Is Tunbridge Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Tunbridge Hill close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Tunbridge Hill?
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, and the quote reflects that.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Tunbridge Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
