Wedding hog roast in Addiscombe
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Addiscombe are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Wedding hog roast near Addiscombe
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Addiscombe. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it is marquee receptions and wedding breakfasts, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In Addiscombe, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Questions from Addiscombe
We are gathering after a service at St Mildred's Church: can you cater?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
As a London location, Addiscombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
