About our wedding hog roast in Beckenham
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and rustic barn receptions, serving salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Couples in Beckenham often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Beckenham, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.

You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
As a London location, Beckenham 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’ll advise.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
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.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
