Wedding hog roast in Upper Ruxley
About our wedding hog roast in Upper Ruxley
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For intimate weddings and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
For a wedding in Upper Ruxley, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Upper Ruxley
We are gathering after a service at St Botolph's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Ruxley?
Swanley station, about 1.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
