How our wedding hog roast works in Westenhanger
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For garden weddings at home and marquee receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Westenhanger have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Working with your venue

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Westenhanger, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Space, access and the venue

- Step-free access for our equipment
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
