For a wedding in Coulsdon, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Where the roaster can go in Coulsdon
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Coulsdon, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
