Wedding hog roast in Hither Green, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and post-wedding gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and new potatoes and more.
In Hither Green, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Common questions in Hither Green
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hither Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Hither Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Step-free access for our equipment
Hither Green 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
