Wedding hog roast for Goodmayes
About our wedding hog roast in Goodmayes
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Goodmayes. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For second-day get-togethers and late-night wedding food, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
For a wedding in Goodmayes, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Goodmayes at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Goodmayes

How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
Goodmayes 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.
