About our wedding hog roast in Eltham
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For evening receptions and the main wedding meal, we can cook crackling, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
In Eltham, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will agree the details with them. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Eltham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Eltham are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
