Wedding hog roast for Beam Park
Wedding hog roast in Beam Park, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes and more.
Couples in Beam Park frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Beam Park at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Power for lights in the evening
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Beam Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
