Wedding hog roast in Hackbridge, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. We are often asked to cater late-night wedding food and the day after the wedding, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling.
For a wedding in Hackbridge, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

- Light near the carving station after dark
- Space well clear of tents and trees

At midsummer, sunset in Hackbridge is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Hackbridge questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hackbridge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Cranmer Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
