Wedding hog roast in Crossness, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are often booked for post-wedding gatherings and vow renewals and blessings.
Couples in Crossness often 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 will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission for outside catering
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Crossness is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Golden-hour photos in Crossness at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
