Wedding Hog Roast in Greater London

Our wedding hog roast in Greater London

For a relaxed wedding in Greater London, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling, and we’re often booked for garden weddings at home and the main wedding meal.

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.

Getting married in Greater London

With 87 villages and hamlets as well as London, City of Westminster and Marylebone, Greater London has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

London: Tower Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Elephant & Castle station serves London directly. At a December wedding in London, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

For event organisers in Greater London

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

We work out each quote from:

  • The journey to the venue
  • Numbers
  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Details that help
