How our wedding hog roast works in Brockham
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for evening food after the first dance and blessings and renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Brockham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. 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.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Golden-hour photos in Brockham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Why choose a hog roast in Brockham?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Common questions in Brockham
How far is Brockham from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
