Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Kennington
Could you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Kennington?
Vauxhall station, in Kennington itself.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
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 work with them on the details.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Why choose a hog roast in Kennington?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Kennington. In Kennington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
Kennington 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
