About our wedding hog roast in Walter's Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s evening receptions and second-day get-togethers, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Walter's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you come to Walter's Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Walter's Green and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
