A hog roast near Brixton
Wedding hog roast in Brixton, 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, then carve at the time you’ve set. For marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings, we can cook crackling, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
London weddings around Brixton 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, so check with the venue early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Step by step
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, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Brixton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- 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
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Brixton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Trinity Congregational Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Brixton?
Frequently, 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.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
