Wedding hog roast in Erith, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are often booked for blessings and renewals and home weddings.
London weddings around Erith often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Erith are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
