What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Charlton, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
