London weddings around Bromley Common often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Permission for outside catering
As a London location, Bromley Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Bromley Common questions
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Bromley Common has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you come to Bromley Common?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Bromley Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
