Slow-roasted pork in Dartmouth Park
Wedding hog roast in Dartmouth Park, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and post-wedding gatherings.
Couples in Dartmouth Park often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Dartmouth Park 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.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
