How our wedding hog roast works in West Kingsdown
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and weddings in a family garden, with halloumi skewers, salads and carved roast pork.
For a smaller place like West Kingsdown, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening food at a West Kingsdown wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
