FAQs for Keston
Can you cater after a service at Keston Parish Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Keston has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
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. We don’t offer halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you come to Keston?
Yes, Keston is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Wedding hog roast near Keston
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee receptions and late-night wedding food.
Couples in Keston often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Keston 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.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in Keston at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests

Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.

A hog roast compared with other options

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll 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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
