Wedding hog roast in Wye
About our wedding hog roast in Wye
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. For late-night wedding food and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Near Wye, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Wye questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Wye?
Wye station, in Wye itself.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Golden-hour photos in Wye at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A way in for the roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
