Wedding hog roast near Botany Bay
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. For home weddings and late-night wedding food, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
Couples in Botany Bay 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

Common questions in Botany Bay
What if our house in Botany Bay has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Trent Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Botany Bay is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Space well clear of tents and trees
