What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in Bickley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day

How our wedding hog roast works in Bickley
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Bickley: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We are often asked to cater rustic barn receptions and marquee receptions, with halloumi skewers, salads and carved roast pork.
Couples in Bickley often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Where the roaster can go in Bickley
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Bickley 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
