Wedding hog roast near Hornchurch Marshes
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it’s weddings in a family garden and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
Couples in Hornchurch Marshes frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Hornchurch Marshes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- New potatoes
- Salads

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Hornchurch Marshes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
