Wedding hog roast in Clapham, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s rustic barn receptions and late-night wedding food, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
Rural weddings around Clapham have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Clapham
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Clapham close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Questions to ask before booking
- Payment terms and cancellation policy

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
