How our wedding hog roast works in Honor Oak
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For second-day get-togethers and weddings in a marquee, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers and more.
Couples in Honor Oak often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For event organisers in Honor Oak
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Honor Oak
What’s the nearest station to Honor Oak?
Honor Oak Park station, in Honor Oak itself.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens in bad weather?
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?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you come to Honor Oak?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Honor Oak and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
