Wedding hog roast in Westham
About our wedding hog roast in Westham
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it is garden weddings at home and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and carved roast pork for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Westham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Westham questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Westham?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Westham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
