A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Woodhatch: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Woodhatch?
Hildenborough station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Woodhatch close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cover Woodhatch?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Woodhatch and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in Woodhatch, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
