Wedding hog roast in Forest Park, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it’s relaxed, low-key weddings and rustic barn receptions, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Forest Park frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Forest Park
Can you cater after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Forest Park close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Forest Park wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- We set up and roast for hours.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
