Wedding hog roast in Foots Cray, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. For rustic barn receptions and marquee receptions, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
London weddings around Foots Cray frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Where the roaster can go in Foots Cray
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
As a London location, Foots Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Foots Cray
Could you cook in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Foots Cray has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
