About our wedding hog roast in Wrotham Heath
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and late-night wedding food, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Rural weddings around Wrotham Heath have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Wrotham Heath?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Wrotham Heath

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At a December wedding in Wrotham Heath, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
