We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We serve crackling, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater intimate weddings and wedding breakfasts.
For a wedding in Elephant and Castle, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Common questions in Elephant and Castle
Could you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Elephant and Castle?
Elephant & Castle station, in Elephant and Castle itself.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
