- Confirm final numbers a week or so before

We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Addington: your questions answered
How far is Addington from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Addington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are 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 bring everything else.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Addington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
