Wedding hog roast in East Dulwich, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Couples in East Dulwich frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

FAQs for East Dulwich
Can you do a hog roast in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at The Latter Rain Outpouring Revival Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover East Dulwich?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including East Dulwich and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
