Wedding hog roast in Bermondsey, carved to order
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and the main wedding meal.
London weddings around Bermondsey frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Bermondsey questions
Which station is closest to Bermondsey?
London Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bermondsey?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Golden-hour photos in Bermondsey at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Where the roaster can go in Bermondsey
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
As a London location, Bermondsey 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
