Bandonhill: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Castlemead Court?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Beddington Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SM6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Step-free access for our equipment
As a London location, Bandonhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Salads

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Bandonhill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
