Wedding hog roast near Deptford
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are carved roast pork, crackling and salads, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden.
For a wedding in Deptford, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Deptford are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Deptford
We’re gathering after a service at St. Paul's: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Sue Godfrey Nature Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
