A hog roast near Clapham
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How our wedding hog roast works in Clapham
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re often asked to cater blessings and renewals and evening receptions, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In Clapham, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. In Clapham, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Clapham: your questions answered
Could you cook in Larkhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Clapham has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will sort the details with them.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like

- What the outdoor space is like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A way in for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Clapham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
