Wedding hog roast near Emerson Park
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s anniversary vow renewals and the day after the wedding, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling and more.
Couples in Emerson Park often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Emerson Park, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Emerson Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
