Wedding hog roast for Bexley Riverside
Wedding hog roast in Bexley Riverside, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. For marquee receptions and the main wedding meal, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
Couples in Bexley Riverside often 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
Common questions in Bexley Riverside
What if our house in Bexley Riverside has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
A hog roast compared with other options
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

The process
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 Bexley Riverside, 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’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
