A hog roast near Beckton
Wedding hog roast in Beckton, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and evening food after the first dance, we can cook carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads for your guests.
In Beckton, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
As a London location, Beckton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Beckton
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Beckton?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Beckton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
