Wedding hog roast near Coombe
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee, with carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Coombe frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast in Coombe

Questions from Coombe
What if our house in Coombe has no side access?

South Croydon station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What’s included?

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will guests be full?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
What affects the price in Coombe

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Coombe, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A way in for the roaster
As a London location, Coombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
