Wedding hog roast in Catford, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For garden weddings at home and late-night wedding food, we can cook salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In Catford, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catford questions
What if our house in Catford has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Catford?
Catford Bridge station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Catford
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
As a London location, Catford 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Catford
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers

How it works
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, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in Catford are 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
