About our wedding hog roast in Dulwich Village
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We are often asked to cater second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Couples in Dulwich Village frequently 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Dulwich Village, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. 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 confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
