Wedding hog roast in Gants Hill
Wedding hog roast near Gants Hill
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. For weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Gants Hill, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we will work through it together. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Questions from Gants Hill
Can you cater after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Gants Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you come to Gants Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Gants Hill and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Power for lights in the evening
Gants Hill 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.
