How our wedding hog roast works in Kew
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts.
Couples in Kew 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 can’t offer, so ask early. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Common questions in Kew
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Kew Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Kew, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. 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.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A way in for the roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Kew 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in Kew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Plates or china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
